CPT code: 64455 “Injection(s), anesthetic agent and/or steroid, plantar common digital nerve(s) (eg, Morton’s neuroma)”.
I would most definitely go with code (64455) because your physicians description matches the definition of Morton's neuroma and if you refer to the note under code 20550, the note instructs you to use 644 55 (nerve block) or 64632 (destruction) depending on the physicians documentation.
A Morton's neuroma is a swollen, inflamed nerve located between the bones at the ball of the foot (usually either the second or the third spacing from the base of the great toe), which is 355.6.#N#So, I would use code:#N#64455 (Injection, anesthetic agent and/or steroid, plantar common digital nerve [eg. Morton's neuroma]).
