Regional Anesthesia Coding

Code 64416 would be reported for the administration of general or regional anesthesia when a brachial plexus is infused via catheter including daily management for anesthetic agent administration

 

Payors have specific guidelines for regional anesthesia.  Always verify prior to service.

 

Never precertify based solely on CPT code.  Always verify that a specify procedure has a coverage or non-coverage policy within the carrier.  Often times a certain CPT code will be listed in a carriers system, but not be a covered procedure within their indivdual plans.

 

Code 62319 Injection, including catheter placement, continuous infusion or intermittent bolus, not including neurolytic substances, with or without contrast, of diagnostic or therapeutic substance(s), epidural or subarachnoid; lumbar, sacral (caudal)

Code 01960 would be reported for vaginal procedures (including biopsy of labia, vagina, cervix or endometrium); vaginal delivery

CPT Codes 64400-64450 are differentiated by single, multiple or continuous infusions with codes 64416, 64446 and 64448 describing continuous catheter infusions to the brachial plexus, sciatic, and the femoral nerves, following the insertion of an infusion catheter into the sheaths of nerves.
