Question:
My physician injects the superior medial and lateral branches of the genicular nerve for knee pain and wants to report 64450 and 64450-59.  Is this correct?

Answer:
No.  Even though more than one injection may be required during the session, the code 64450 is reported once per its description “peripheral nerve or branch”.
