Does any one have explanation for this;
Per the CPT changes for 2010, the new facet injection codes are;
94490 - cervical or thoracic, first level 64493 - lumbar, first l
64491 - second level 64494 - second level
64492 - third and any additional level 64495 - third and any add
It also states that the CPT code 64492 and 64495 are only reproted once per day. This is ok if there were only three levels involved. What heppens if the facet injection is performed to more then three levels? How can we report the forth or the fifth level?
Thank you for your help
