Pain management
About 64630: Pudendal nerve neurolytic treatment
Neurolytic treatment of the pudendal nerve for selected chronic pelvic or perineal pain, reported when the nerve is intentionally destroyed rather than temporarily blocked.
This procedure uses a neurolytic agent to intentionally damage the pudendal nerve, typically as an intervention for persistent pudendal neuralgia or related chronic pelvic or perineal pain. Pain-management physicians commonly perform it in an office-based procedure suite or a facility. It differs from a pudendal nerve block, which delivers medication to block nerve signals without the same intent to destroy the nerve.
Report 64630 when documentation identifies the pudendal nerve as the target and supports neurolytic treatment, including the indication, technique, and treated site. The code has a 10-day global period, so related postoperative visits during that period are included. 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 multiple procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

64630 billing questions
How is 64630 different from a pudendal nerve block?
64630 represents intentional neurolytic treatment of the pudendal nerve. A pudendal block, such as 64430, uses an injection to block nerve signals rather than destroy the nerve.
What documentation supports reporting 64630?
Document the clinical indication, the pudendal nerve as the target, the neurolytic technique and agent, and the treated site.
Should modifier 50 be appended for bilateral treatment?
No. The bilateral adjustment does not apply to 64630, and modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code.
Are postoperative visits separately reported during the global period?
Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included in the procedure.
How does the multiple-procedure rule affect 64630?
When it is performed with other procedures in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the other procedures are subject to the standard multiple procedure reduction.
Can an assistant surgeon or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documentation of medical necessity. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
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.
