Code 64490 reads at the end cervical or thoracic; single level. If the physician documents they did bilateral paravertebral facet joint injections at C3-4, C4-5 and C5-6 and then during same visit documents bilateral paravertebral facet joint injections at T5-6, T6-7 and T7-8. Can they bill code 64490 with modifier 50 and modifier 59 for the cervical and on another line bill code 64490 with modifier 50 for the thoracic? Appreciate any insight! Thanks!
