My Dr. Performed a Bilateral lateral branch rami block at s1, s2, and s3, Please what code should be used for this procedure. It also stated the procedure was done under Fluoroscopy.
I thought it would be the 64450 X 3 with the modifier, now i'm not sure if It should bill the 64640 three time with the 59 modifier on the second and third, I'm confussed. When I asked the dr. he keeps saying there is a difference between the 64450 and the 64640. Looking at his not I don't know if it is a destruction or just a injection, or does it even matter. I'm sure it must as there are two different codes.
Please help!!!!
Im holding this bill until I can get some information.![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
