I am coding for anesthesia given for facet block. The new facet block codes (64490,64493) crosswalk over to 01935 w/ 01936 being an alternate. The surgeon is injecting steroid and Marcaine, so isn't this considered a therapeutic injection for the pt's back pain? What would a surgeon inject into the facet for it to be considered a diagnostic injection?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
