Professional and Facility for RFA of intraosseous basivertebral nerve?

[NF2712]

Not sure if this is the right section to ask this question, but I am stump.

I work at a pain management group that does RF lesionings and other spinal surgeries at our ASC facility. The provider would like to do a rfa of the intraosseous basivertebral nerve on the L4-L5. Based on the AAPC Coder, the HCPCS code C9752 would best fit for this procedure, but since it's a C code, it can only be billed on the facility side.

I'm trying to figure out what the professional side would be for this procedure; I looked at the AAPC crosswalk for C9752 and it states a 64635, however, I'm not sure that would be an accurate fit for this procedure. I read somewhere else that since the C9752 is considered a new code it would have to be coded along with 22899, as an unlisted spinal procedure, but I'm not sure that is accurate for the professional side.

I just need some guidance on what to do.

As of 12/10/19, the International Society for the Advancement of Spine Surgery says 22899 is the one, here. Scroll wayyyy down the page.

As of 1/1/20, United Healthcare states, "The following facet joint nerve ablation techniques are unproven and not medically necessary due to insufficient evidence of efficacy: ... Intraosseous radiofrequency ablation of the basivertebral nerve (e.g., Intracept®)"

As of 1/2019, the Intracept Manufacturer says to use the unlisted code, here.
