Hello,
could anybody lead me to something in writing regarding the proper anesthesia codes to use for pain managment procedures; anesthesia and procedures are provided by two separate providers.
I had recently advised my providers to use CPT 01991 or 01992 for Diagnostic or Therapeutic nerve blocks or injections, depending on the positioning of the patient during the procedure, such as Facet blocks or TFESIS, and CPT 01935/01936 for image guided procedures, such as RFA, SCS trials and discograms.
One of my pain management providers disagrees, and states we should only use 01935/01936 for any spinal procedures.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
