Hi All,
I need some help clarifying the following report to decide if it should be coded as 1 level with 64483 or 2 levels with 64483, +64484. Any help would be appreciated.
"...After no evidence of dural puncture or intravascular uptake and with needle placement confirmed, injectate of 1 mL of dexamethasone 10 mg/mL and 1mL of lidocaine 1% was injected to each surrounding epidural space of the right L2 and L3 nerve roots and the patient was observed for adverse side effects..."
Thanks!
