What 64643 covers

This add-on code represents chemodenervation of an additional limb, treating one to four muscles in that extremity. It is commonly used when a clinician injects botulinum toxin to manage focal spasticity, such as after stroke, traumatic brain injury, or in cerebral palsy. Physicians and other qualified practitioners typically perform the injections in an office or facility setting, selecting target muscles based on the patient’s functional goals and examination findings.

Report 64643 with the primary extremity chemodenervation service, generally 64642, when another extremity is treated at the same session. The muscle count is assessed separately for each extremity; this code represents an additional extremity with one to four treated muscles, not each individual muscle or injection site. Documentation should identify the treated extremity, muscles, indication, and administered treatment. CMS classifies this as an add-on code: it is billed only with a primary procedure, and its payment falls within that procedure’s global period.

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.

64643 billing questions

When is 64643 used instead of 64642?

64642 reports the primary extremity treated with one to four muscles. Use 64643 for each additional extremity treated with one to four muscles during the service.

Can 64643 be billed by itself?

No. It is an add-on code and must be reported with a primary procedure, generally 64642 for the first extremity.

Is the code counted per muscle or per extremity?

It is counted per additional extremity. The extremity must have one to four muscles treated; the code is not reported once for each muscle or injection site.

When should 64645 be used instead?

Use 64645 for an additional extremity when five or more muscles are treated there. The one-to-four muscle threshold is evaluated separately for each extremity.

What documentation supports 64643?

Document the additional extremity, the muscles treated in that limb, the indication for chemodenervation, and the treatment performed.

How does the global-period rule affect 64643?

CMS treats 64643 as an add-on service paid within the primary procedure’s global period. It must accompany a primary procedure.

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.
