What 64834 covers

This code describes operative repair of one nerve in the hand or foot, such as direct coaptation of a transected nerve after a laceration or other injury. It is generally performed by a hand, plastic, orthopedic, or peripheral nerve surgeon in an operating room. The code is for a hand or foot nerve repair rather than repair of a digital nerve, which has a separate code family.

Report one unit for the nerve repaired. The operative note should identify the nerve, its location and injury, and the repair performed; use the graft-requiring code when a nerve graft is needed. Code 64835 is used for each additional nerve repaired without a graft. This major surgery has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
