I'm going between to codes for this injection for pain management: 64400 & 64402. The op report states: Flourosocopy was used to identify landmarks including right tempromandibular joint and the lateral pterygoid plate. A 25 gauge needle was passed atraumatically to to contact the lateral pterygoid plate. Placement was confirmed after instillation of 3 milliliters of omnipaque dye which demonstrated appropriate spread. At this point 4 mg of Dexamthasone & bupivicaine was slowly and incrementally injected after negative aspiration.
I'm leaning more towards coding: 64400. Anyone who has some input, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
