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

What 64467 covers

This code represents a block delivered into a fascial plane in the thoracic region on one side. Thoracic plane blocks, including erector spinae and serratus anterior plane approaches, are used to provide regional analgesia for chest-wall or thoracic procedures and pain. Anesthesia and pain-management clinicians commonly perform them in operating rooms, procedural areas, or other settings where regional blocks are provided. Imaging guidance may be used as part of the block service when performed.

Select this unilateral code only when the documented thoracic block and service circumstance match the code; distinguish it from 64466, the unilateral injection code, and from the bilateral code options. Record the block approach, side, medication delivery, and clinical purpose. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. CMS lists bilateral payment with modifier 50 at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

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.
