Guest guest Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 How about just coding for the digital nerve block, which is 64450 (injection of anesthetic agent (nerve block), diagnostic or therapeutic, other peripheral nerve or branch)? I got that code by Googling " CPT digital nerve block, " when I couldn't easily find it in my CPT book. > > Good evening, > What code would you use if you did a digital block and had to remove a large splinter from under a nail? From what I understand, the code for removal of foreign body can only be used if the provider makes an incision to remove it but that is not the case. > Thanks for your help/ideas! > Margaret Coughlan > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
