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

What 64469 covers

This service establishes continuous local anesthetic delivery through catheters placed in thoracic fascial planes on both sides. Anesthesiologists and other qualified pain-management clinicians may use it for analgesia involving the chest wall, including around thoracic or breast procedures. Imaging guidance may be used when appropriate. The continuous catheter technique distinguishes this service from a block delivered as a single injection.

Report the bilateral continuous-infusion service when documentation supports catheter placement and ongoing infusion on both sides. The code is priced as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, which includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
