Question:
Is this injection coded with 64400 x 2 or 64400 x 3? Do we code per branch or nerve? "The supraorbital, supratrochlear, and auriculo-temporal nerve regions were identified by manual palpation. The overlying skin was prepped with an alcohol pad. At this point, after negative aspiration, a total 1.5 mL volume of treatment injectate, consisting of 0.75 mL of 1% lidocaine and 0.75 mL of 0.25% Bupivacaine, was injected easily at each area. Needles were withdrawn, and the patient was monitored for 15 minutes with no ill effects."
