I have a physician doing a lumbar rhizotomy. His notes reads as follows : The patient was placed in prone position on the fluro table. Sterile prep and drape was applied.the proper level for needle placement was obtained using radiographic confirmation. Then 10mm tip 22-gauge insulated needles were sequentially placed over the junction of the superior articular process and the transverse process and the location of the mamillo-accessory notch. Then sensory stimulation and motor stimulation was performed. After adequate stimulating patterns were achieved, local anesthetic was injected through the needles. The lesioning was then done for 75 seconds at 80 degrees centrigrade at each level respectively and individually. The injection was done at the l4-l5, l5-s1 bilaterally.
The doctor is indicating 6 sites. Not sure how to code.
Would i use : 64622-50, 64623-50, 64623-50 and 77003-26?:
