HELP!! We have a provider who is requesting to bill Medial Branch Nerve Block 64490 and Lidocaine injection J3490. Can the Lidocaine be billed separately?

No the RVU for 64490 includes it. It would be unbundling to bill for it separately. There is a reason there is only a HCPCS code for infusion lodocaine and not injectable lodocaine
