Question:
Dr. Z I have a Neuro-IR physician that performed at CT-guided transforaminal epidural and nerve root injections with fibrin glue. Levels were bi-lat T8/9; T9/10; T10/11 with contrast for needle verification. Would the correct code be 77012/ 64490-50/64491-50, 64492-50? A blood patch would not be the correct code or would it? In his dictation, he did not state any type of patch other than the fibrin glue. Thoughts? Thank you
