What 64632 covers

This procedure chemically ablates a plantar common digital nerve, often to treat persistent burning or shooting forefoot pain associated with a Morton's neuroma. A podiatrist, foot and ankle specialist, or pain physician may perform it by directing a neurolytic agent to the affected nerve. It is distinct from an injection using local anesthetic or steroid for temporary symptom relief.

Select the code when documentation supports neurolytic destruction of the plantar common digital nerve, rather than another peripheral nerve or a non-neurolytic injection. Record the treated nerve, side, indication, and neurolytic treatment performed. CMS assigns a 10-day global period, so related postoperative visits during that period are included. For bilateral treatment, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documentation of medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

64632 billing questions

How does this differ from a Morton's neuroma injection?

This code is for neurolytic destruction of the plantar common digital nerve. CPT 64455 describes an injection using anesthetic and/or steroid, rather than neurolytic destruction.

What documentation supports reporting this code?

Document the plantar common digital nerve treated, the side, the clinical indication, and the neurolytic treatment performed.

How is bilateral treatment reported?

Use modifier 50 for bilateral treatment; CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 150%.

Are postoperative visits separately reported during the global period?

Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included in the procedure.

Can an assistant or another surgeon be reported?

Assistant-at-surgery payment is allowed only with documentation of medical necessity. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

How are other procedures in the same session paid?

The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures in the same session are paid at 50% under the standard multiple procedure reduction.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
