continuous adductor canal block----From looking at what nerve this location supports, it appears this falls under the saphenous nerve and since there is not a continuous infusion of other peripheral nerve that leave you with unlisted code 64999.

"The saphenous nerve is the terminal sensory branch of the femoral nerve"
"The nerve to the vastus medialis muscle also lies in the adductor canal (in its proximal portion"

Ultrasound Anatomy
The fascia iliaca is located anterior to the iliacus muscle (on its surface) within the pelvis. It is bound superolaterally by the iliac crest and medially merges with the fascia overlying the psoas muscle. Both the femoral nerve and the lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh lie under the iliacus fascia in their intrapelvic course
Distribution of Blockade
The distribution of anesthesia and analgesia that is accomplished with the fascia iliaca block depends on the extent of the local anesthetic spread and the nerves blocked. Blockade of the femoral nerve results in anesthesia of the anterior and medial thigh (down to and including the knee) and anesthesia of a variable strip of skin on the medial leg and foot. The femoral nerve also contributes to articular fibers to both the hip and knee. The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve confers cutaneous innervation to the anterolateral thigh.

I had remember the fascia iliac block had previously been mentioned on this forum awhile back. I was able to locate that post and below here is the link/ I also copied and pasted the post where the coding for this block is mentioned:

Some providers use the fascia iliaca block as a technique to inject the femoral nerve and lateral cutaneous femoral nerve. I would check with your physician if he was blocking the femoral nerve with this approach, if so then look at 64447 for single or 64448 for continous infusion.
Here is one link that I found with info on the fascia iliaca block:

This is similar to physicians referring to a interscalene or supraclavicular block for a brachial plexus block. They are describing the technique rather than the actual nerve or plexus being injected.
