  G260 Major plexus block ..................................................................    80.00
          Payment rules:
          1. The G260 service is a block of one of the following: brachial plexus, lumbar plexus, sacral
            plexus, deep cervical plexus, or a combined 3-in-1 block which must include the femoral,
            obturator and lateral femoral cutaneous nerves.
          2. When a major plexus block is rendered, additional blocks of one or more nerves within the
            same nerve distribution are not eligible for payment.
          [Commentary:
          If a peripheral nerve block is performed that is not within the same nerve distribution of a major
          plexus block, then both blocks are eligible for payment. For example, a sciatic nerve block
          performed in addition to a combined 3-in-1 block.]
          3. When 2 or more nerve blocks of major and/or minor peripheral nerves that are within the
            distribution of a major plexus are rendered individually, only G260 is eligible for payment.
          [Commentary:
          For example, if radial, median and ulnar nerve blocks are performed individually, only the
          brachial plexus block (i.e. major plexus block) is eligible for payment. If femoral, obturator and
          lateral femoral cutaneous blocks are performed individually, only the combined 3-in-1 (i.e.
          major plexus) block is eligible for payment.]

             a.a block of one of: radial, median, ulnar, musculocutaneous, femoral, sciatic, common
               peroneal and/or tibial, obturator, suprascapular, pudendal (uni or bilateral), trigeminal or
               facial nerve;
             b.a paravertebral block – first injection only;
             c.an ankle block (must include 2 or more of the following: deep peroneal, superficial

            within the same nerve distribution are not eligible for payment.
