Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

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.

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.
