Hi hteller!

Great question!

64405 = Injection, anesthetic agent; greater occipital nerve

It appears CPT code 64420 - Injection, anesthetic agent; intercostal nerve, single

is the code that is being suggested for the lesser occiptial nerve block!

Hope this helps! Please feel free to contact us with any further questions!
