Is your office compliant- uses the proper codes for facia plane blocks?

Back in 2025 CMS released new and updated facia plane block codes to better represent the work that the anesthesiologists perform to reduce the pain for the patients during procedures (thorasic/lower extremity).

Imaging is included in these codes.

Please note if the EP block is performed in the lumbar region, these codes are not appropriate and the code 64999 should be

used.

Coding:

Make sure your office is compliant and uses the proper codes to capture the procedures.
