Hello
Can I code for nerve block with excision of nail bed? I'm not sure if the block is included in the procedure.This is the procedure paragraph:
"4 mL of 1% lidocaine was used to anesthetize the toe, using a digital nerve block. He is still having some minor discomfort with the procedure after initial anesthesia, so an additional 4 mL was used with good lidocaine effect. Both the medial and lateral nail bed was excised, hemostasis was obtained, no complications."
I was going to use codes: 11750 and 64450
Thanks in advance for your help!
