Is nerve blocking ever reported by the provider?
Date: Nov 9, 2020
Question:
It is my understanding that the provider should not bill for the nerve block performed immediately prior to the Ellipsys procedure. Is the nerve blocking ever reportable by the provider? I have a case in which the provider describes successful right brachial plexus nerve block immediately prior to the basilica vein banding procedure he performs. Reportable? Or bundled?
