Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 64416 covers

This service places a catheter at the brachial plexus for continuous delivery of anesthetic, often to control pain after shoulder or upper-arm surgery. An anesthesiologist or other physician trained in regional anesthesia may perform it in an operating room, procedure area, or outpatient surgical setting. Imaging guidance is included when performed. The code represents the continuous catheter technique, not a one-time nerve injection.

Choose 64416 when the documented target is the brachial plexus and medication is delivered through a catheter for continuous infusion. The record should identify the nerve target, catheter placement, and continuous infusion plan; do not select it solely because a single injection is followed by pain relief. The procedure has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are reduced to 50%. Modifier 50 for a bilateral service is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery services are not paid, and co-surgeon and team-surgery billing are not permitted.
