Wiki HELP! Billing for Medical Branch Nerve Block and Lidocaine

[aseneth]

We have a provider who is requesting to bill Medial Branch Nerve Block 64450 and Lidocaine injection J3490. Can the Lidocaine be billed separately?

 

[jeri2792]

Lidocaine billed seperately

I think Lidocaine is billed seperatly from a procedure - Medial Branch nerve block.

Don't bill lidocaine

Do not bill lidocaine separately as it is inclusive in nerve block itself.

Thanks,
