question:
NOT A MEDICARE PT.
Is the proper code for Axillary block 64417 with general anesthesia with procedure 26540 repair ligament left index finger. Dr. is doing the block
I am not familiar with blocks but it seems to me that if the Dr. is working on the finger then a shoulder block would not be appropriate
could it be 64450 Dr. anesthetizes a nerve to provide pain control.
I know that Medicare bundles this but this is not Medicare.
any help would be appreciated.
