Medicare and coding coronary same branch modifiers

If I remember correctly, Medicare does not pay a branch of the same vessel. For ex. stent to the mid RC and stent to the posterior descending. The patient has Medicare primary and AARP secondary. Is there a specific modifier that needs to be applied to the second stent?

Thank you

Billing Medial Branch RFA for only Level L3 & L5 (L4 was aborted)

I am in disagreement with my pain management provider regarding a planned L3/L4/L5 Medial Branch RFA. L4 continued to produce dermatomal radiation & was aborted. It was decided to proceed with L3/L5 RFA. My provider insists this would constitute ONE level. I disagreed, stating the Facet Joints at L3/L4 & L4/L5 were only partially denervated. My thought was it should be billed as 64635-52, and 64636-52 (reduced services because each joint at each level was only partially denervated). Any input would be so appreciated. Thank you!!

facet injection with nerve branch block

Hello 😉

I have not done a ton of pain management coding, so any helpful tips would be very welcome! Today I have a specific question. My doctor states he did facet injection at L4-L5 & L5-S1, he also did L4 & L5 median nerve branch blocks. These were all done on the left. Would this be 64493, 64494 only? Or also 64495? or am I totally off? Thank you for your help!
