I need some help coding this i'm new to the pain management coding .
The patients op report reads as follows:
Lumbar medial branch block:
Pt was placed in the prone position on the fluroscopy table. Sterile prep and drape was applied. The proper level for the needle placement was obtained using radiographic confirmation. Lidocaine 1% was used to anesthetize the skin. A 25-gage spinal needle was advances into the estimated location of the medial branches.then 4% lidocaine totaling 0.3cc's at each location was injected under fluro. The injection was done at the l5-s1 bilaterally -3 injections per side.
