Nerve surgery
About 64772: Extradural spinal nerve transection
Reports surgical interruption of a single spinal nerve outside the dura when the operation intentionally severs or avulses that nerve.
This operation intentionally interrupts a spinal nerve outside the dura, by severing or avulsing it. A neurosurgeon or spine surgeon typically performs it in an operating room when the treatment plan calls for surgical interruption of a specific spinal nerve. The operative report should identify the nerve, its extradural location, and the procedure performed.
Report this code for one spinal nerve; documentation should distinguish the target from a cranial or peripheral nerve. The service has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When other procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team-surgery payment is not permitted.

64772 billing questions
How is this code distinguished from the cranial nerve code?
This code is for interruption of an extradural spinal nerve. The cranial nerve code, 64771, is selected when the operative target is a cranial nerve.
What should the operative report document?
Document the specific spinal nerve, its extradural location, and the actual nerve interruption performed. The record should support that the target was a spinal nerve rather than a cranial or peripheral nerve.
Does the code include postoperative visits?
Yes. Its 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
How is it paid when another procedure is performed in the same session?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and the other procedure or procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team-surgery payment is not permitted.
How many spinal nerves does this code describe?
The service is for a single spinal nerve. The operative documentation should identify that nerve and its extradural location.
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.
