The Neurosurgery Coding Coach
KZA consultants discuss two frequently asked neurosurgery coding questions every month. Our coding experts are also available for hourly coding consultations and can provide a customized coding and documentation review for your practice.

Hardware Block
Question:
Thank you for coming to our practice to provide on-site coding education for our neurosurgeons and pain management physicians – the course was fantastic and your handout is now my “Bible”!
I forgot to ask you a question: One of our pain management doctors is doing a procedure called a hardware block and I can’t seem to find the CPT code for this. Can you please help?
Answer:
Thank you for your kind words! There is no CPT code for a hardware block; therefore, we have to use an unlisted code (e.g., 64999).
KZA now offers a Neurointerventionalist Coding Course on-site in your practice taught by Kim Pollock or Teri Romano! Contact Cindy Stanely at (312) 202-7088 or cstanley@karenzupko.com for more information.
If you have questions or would like to speak to Kim or Teri about your practice, please contact Kelsey Keith at KZA (kkeith@karenzupko.com or 312.642.5616), and she will be happy to share with you KZA’s fees for this service.
