What 64645 covers

This code represents chemodenervation in an additional arm or leg when treatment involves five or more muscles in that extremity. It commonly accompanies botulinum toxin treatment for spasticity after stroke or in neurologic conditions such as cerebral palsy, and may be performed by a neurologist, physiatrist, or another qualified clinician in an office or outpatient facility. The service is counted by extremity, not by injection or toxin dose.

Report it only with the primary code for treatment of one extremity involving five or more muscles, 64644. Use one unit for each additional extremity that meets the five-muscle threshold. Documentation should identify each treated extremity, the muscles injected, and the clinical reason for treatment. CMS classifies this as an add-on service; payment is made within the primary 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.

64645 billing questions

When is 64645 used instead of 64644?

Use 64644 for the initial extremity when five or more muscles are treated. Use 64645 for each additional extremity treated at that same muscle-count level.

Can 64645 be billed by itself?

No. It is an add-on code and must be reported with 64644 for the primary extremity service.

How are units counted?

Count one unit for each additional extremity in which five or more muscles are treated. The unit count is not based on the number of injections or toxin dose.

What documentation supports a unit of 64645?

Document the additional extremity, the muscles injected there, and the treatment indication. The record should support that at least five muscles were treated in that extremity.

How does the add-on status affect payment?

CMS pays 64645 within the global period of its primary procedure. It must accompany 64644 rather than stand alone.

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.
