Cryoablation CT-guided bilateral medial branch nerves

Date: Jul 6, 2022

Question:

What would be the correct CPT code(s) for a CT-guided cryoablation of bilateral medial branch nerves at L2-L3? Is this covered by 64635 and 64636? It is unclear if only RFA is covered by 64635 and 64636. Or do these codes also cover cryoablation? Would cryoablation have to be unlisted 64999?
