I have a doctor that the nerve block sheet stated Thoracic Paravertebral Block for post op pain management. The only codes I'm finding for paravertebral blocks are 64470-64484 and 64490-64493. I don't show that any of these are applicable for post op pain management.
Am I missing codes somewhere? One of my doctors is saying that paravertebral blocks are used are for post op pain all the time, but what I'm finding for the paravertebral blocks are not for post op pain. The only thoracic codes I've had to use in the past for POP management is either 62310 or 62318.
