What 64473 covers
This service covers a one-time injection of anesthetic medication, with or without steroid, into a fascial plane in the lower extremity to provide regional pain relief. Anesthesiologists, pain physicians, and other clinicians performing regional blocks may use it for perioperative analgesia or acute pain, such as pain associated with a hip fracture. Imaging guidance, when performed, is included in the block service.
Report 64473 for a unilateral, single-injection block; use the documented body site, side, medication, and technique to support the service. A catheter-based continuous infusion is a different service, not another unit of this injection code. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures occur in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. For bilateral performance, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. 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.

64473 billing questions
When should 64473 be chosen over 64474?
Use 64473 for a one-time unilateral injection. Code 64474 describes a unilateral lower-extremity fascial plane block delivered by continuous infusion through a catheter.
Can imaging guidance be billed separately?
Imaging guidance, when performed for this block, is included in the service represented by 64473.
How is bilateral treatment reported?
CMS recognizes modifier 50 for bilateral performance and pays the procedure at 150%. Document the treated sides.
What documentation supports this code?
Document the lower-extremity site and side, the fascial plane and injection technique, the medication administered, and the clinical reason for the block.
Are same-day care and other procedures included?

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.
