Cryoneurolysis 0442T or 64999

Date: May 7, 2025

Question:

What is the appropriate CPT code for CT-guided bilateral T9, T10, and T11 intercostal nerve cryoneurolysis? Would it be 0442T or 64999? I saw a previous post that suggested 0442T, but I also saw some other guidance that possibly unlisted code 64999 may be assigned.
