2020 Genicular Nerve Radiofrequency

Date: Jan 23, 2020

Question:

I have found the codes for 2020 genicular nerve block (64454) and the 2020 genicular nerve destruction by neurolytic agent (64624). I am not finding the coding for 2020 genicular nerve RFA. Would you use the new code for destruction 64624 even though the description does not state by RFA?
