Nerve Blocks for Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral nerve blocks and electrostimulation/electromagnetic stimulation for multiple neuropathies or peripheral neuropathies caused by underlying systemic diseases are considered investigational or not medically necessary and are not eligible for coverage. Ultrasound guidance used with these non-covered injections will also be denied; systemic medical management is the clinically indicated treatment for these conditions.
