Hi!
I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I'm new to Pain Management and could use some experienced coding advice.
If a patient has a transforaminal epidural steroid injection (NFI), I understand the primary procedure would be 64483 and the additional level is 64484. This is my quandary.
If the Dr. does a 64483 on right L4 and another injection on the left L5 how would this be coded. Can I code it as 64483-50 even though they are on two levels, but performed bilaterally?![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I would really appreciate any help! Any suggestions of Pain Management coding help books I could look into purchasing?
