Little help PLEASE. What CPT code would be used for a Right lower extremity neuroma injection with insulated needle and nerve stimulation? I don't believe I have ever heard of this procedure. As always, THANKS so much.
Nerve stimulation for determination of level of paralysis or localization of nerve(s). (Codes for EMG services are for diagnostic purposes for nerve dysfunction. To report these codes a complete diagnostic report must be present in the medical record.)
Above from the NCCI manual stating nerve stimulation for location of nerve(s) not separately reportable.
As seen below with 64455 they state morton's neuroma can be billed with a nerve block code, I don't know if the means 64450 can also be reported for the LE nerve block you are reporting for blocking a neuroma
Injection(s), anesthetic agent and/or steroid, plantar common digital nerve(s) (eg, Morton's neuroma)
