What 64836 covers

This service restores continuity of a non-digital nerve in the hand or foot using a nerve graft when the injured ends cannot be brought together for direct repair. A hand surgeon or peripheral nerve surgeon typically performs it in an operating room after traumatic injury, such as a laceration with a nerve gap. The operative report should identify the repaired nerve and site, the gap or reason direct repair was not feasible, and the graft-based reconstruction performed.

Report the code for the graft-based repair, not for a digital nerve repair or a direct nerve repair. The day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included in its major-surgery global period. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. For bilateral repairs, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. An assistant at surgery may be paid; 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.

64836 billing questions

How does this differ from 64834?

64836 is used for a hand or foot nerve repair involving a graft. 64834 describes repair of a non-digital nerve without that graft-based reconstruction.

Can this code be used for a digital nerve?

No. Digital nerve repairs are reported with the digital nerve repair codes, including 64831 and, when applicable, 64832.

What documentation supports graft-based repair?

Document the nerve and anatomic site, the injury and resulting gap, why direct repair was not feasible, and the graft reconstruction performed.

How is a bilateral repair reported?

For bilateral procedures, report modifier 50; CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 150%.

What postoperative care is included?

The major-surgery global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.

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.
