Peripheral nerve surgery
About 64902: Additional cable nerve graft repair
Reports additional nerve repair involving a multiple-strand cable graft in the hand or foot, alongside an eligible primary procedure.
This add-on code describes additional nerve repair involving a multiple-strand cable graft in the hand or foot. A surgeon may use this approach to bridge a nerve defect when a single graft strand is not sufficient. The service is part of operative peripheral nerve reconstruction, commonly performed by a hand, orthopedic, plastic, or peripheral nerve surgeon. The operative report should identify the treated nerve and site and describe the graft configuration and repair performed.
Report 64902 only with an eligible primary procedure; it is not a standalone service. Documentation should make clear why the repair required a multiple-strand cable graft and distinguish it from a single-strand graft or another nerve-repair method. CMS treats this as an add-on code paid within the primary procedure’s global period. Its payment is therefore included within that global period rather than treated as a separate primary procedure.

64902 billing questions
When is 64902 preferred over 64901?
Use 64902 for nerve repair using a multiple-strand cable graft. The distinction from 64901 is the graft configuration; the operative report should support the method performed.
Can 64902 be reported by itself?
No. It is an add-on code and must be reported with an eligible primary procedure.
What documentation supports 64902?
The operative report should identify the nerve and hand or foot site, describe the defect and repair, and document use of a multiple-strand cable graft.
How does the global period affect payment?
CMS pays 64902 within the global period of the primary procedure. It is not paid as a separate primary service.
Is 64902 the same as nerve repair with an allograft?
No. Code 64902 represents multiple-strand cable-graft repair; allograft repair is described by a different code family, including 64912 and 64913.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
