A 26-year-old man who had right ACL reconstruction surgery received a femoral nerve block. What CPT code should be used for the femoral nerve block?
  1. 64445
  2. 64447
  3. 64449
  4. 64450
Explanation
Answer: B - 64447 is the correct code for a single femoral nerve anesthetic agent injection, also known as a nerve block.
Code 64445 is incorrect because this code is for the sciatic nerve and code 64449 is incorrect because this code is for the lumbar plexus nerve. Code 64450 is incorrect because this is for “other” peripheral nerve or branch anesthetic agent injection.
