About 64787: Implantation of nerve end into muscle or bone
Reports placement of a divided nerve end into nearby muscle or bone as an additional step during qualifying surgery, often to manage a neuroma.
The surgeon places a divided nerve end into muscle or bone, commonly when treating a symptomatic neuroma or managing a nerve stump during another nerve procedure. The operative report should identify the nerve and site, describe the implantation and its destination, and document the related primary procedure. This work is typically performed in an operating room by a surgeon treating peripheral nerve conditions.
Code 64787 is an add-on, not a stand-alone service: report it only with an eligible primary procedure. CMS pays it within the primary procedure’s global period, so it is not separately paid as a service outside that period. The documentation should distinguish the nerve-end implantation from the primary excision or other nerve work. Identify the primary code and explain why the nerve end was implanted rather than simply documenting nerve division or removal.

64787 billing questions
Can 64787 be reported by itself?
No. It is an add-on code and must be reported with an eligible primary procedure.
Is nerve-end implantation included in the neuroma excision?
The implantation is additional work when the nerve end is placed into muscle or bone. Document that step separately from the neuroma excision or other primary nerve procedure.
What should the operative report document?
Name the nerve and operative site, describe the placement of its end, identify whether it was implanted into muscle or bone, and state the related primary procedure.
How does the global-period payment rule affect 64787?
CMS pays this add-on within the primary procedure’s global period. It is not paid as a separate service outside that period.
