I need help with coding this procedure.
Today we repeated dorsal rami/paravertebral blocks at C7 and T1 bilaterally. Patient was placed in the sitting position and sedated. The spinous processes were palpated and 25-gauge spinal needles were inserted 1 fingerbreadth lateral on each side of the spinous process. Each was advanced until bone was contacted and paresthesia was elicited.
No fluoroscopy was used. Thoughts??
Thanks
