What 64430 covers

A clinician places medication near the pudendal nerve to interrupt sensation in the perineum and nearby pelvic structures. Pain medicine physicians and anesthesiologists may use the block to evaluate or treat suspected pudendal neuralgia or other pelvic pain; gynecologists and obstetric clinicians may use it for perineal or procedural anesthesia. The injection may be performed in an office, procedure suite, or hospital, using an approach suited to the patient and clinical target.

Report the code for the pudendal nerve injection whether the goal is diagnostic or therapeutic. The record should identify the indication, nerve targeted, side or sides, approach, and medications injected. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. For bilateral treatment, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

64430 billing questions

When should 64430 be chosen instead of 64450?

Use 64430 when the pudendal nerve is the documented target. Code 64450 is for an otherwise unspecified peripheral nerve or branch, not a substitute for a named pudendal nerve block.

Does the code depend on whether the block is diagnostic or therapeutic?

No. The code describes injection at the pudendal nerve; document whether the purpose is diagnostic, pain relief, or anesthesia.

How is a bilateral pudendal nerve block reported?

CMS identifies this as a bilateral procedure: report modifier 50 for bilateral treatment. Its Medicare payment is 150%.

Can another procedure be reported in the same session?

A distinct procedure may be reported when separately performed and supported by the record. Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%.

What same-day care is included?

The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted, and co-surgeon and team-surgery billing are not permitted.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
