What 64874 covers

This add-on represents repair or revision of another nerve when the surgeon must extensively free it from surrounding tissue or move it to a different position. It may arise during operative treatment of peripheral nerve injuries or reconstructive nerve surgery. Peripheral nerve, hand, orthopedic, or plastic surgeons typically perform this work in an operating room; the operative note should identify the additional nerve and describe the mobilization or transposition performed.

Report 64874 only with a qualifying primary procedure, not as a stand-alone service. The record should distinguish the additional nerve and its work from the nerve repair represented by the primary code. CMS treats this as an add-on paid within the primary procedure’s global period, so it is not separately paid outside that global period. Select the primary code for the main nerve procedure, then report this code only when the additional nerve work meets its scope.
