What 64644 covers

This service covers injection of a chemodenervating agent into five or more muscles in a single extremity to reduce unwanted muscle activity. Neurologists, physiatrists, and other clinicians who manage movement disorders or spasticity commonly perform it in outpatient clinics and hospital settings. Treatment may address focal upper- or lower-extremity muscle overactivity, including patterns that interfere with positioning, movement, or daily function.

Select the code by counting the muscles treated in that extremity, not the number of injection sites or the drug units. Documentation should identify the treated extremity and muscles, the treatment plan, and the administered product and dose. A separately treated additional extremity may support an additional-extremity code. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted, and 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.

64644 billing questions

How is this distinguished from 64642?

Both describe treatment in one extremity. Use 64644 when five or more muscles in that extremity are treated; 64642 is for one to four.

Does the muscle count refer to injections or muscles?

Count the muscles treated, not injection sites, needle passes, or units of medication. The record should identify the muscles injected.

Can another extremity be reported separately?

Yes, when treatment is performed in an additional extremity, the applicable additional-extremity code may be reported. Match that code to the number of muscles treated in the additional extremity.

Should modifier 50 be used for both sides?

No. The CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply, and modifier 50 is inappropriate for this service. Report qualifying treatment by extremity using the applicable code structure.

Is the chemodenervating drug included?

This code represents the injection service. When the practice supplies the drug, the drug may be reported separately under the applicable drug code, supported by documentation of the product and dose.

What happens when other procedures are performed in the same session?

The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures subject to the standard multiple-procedure rule are paid at 50% when performed in the same session.

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.
