About 64907: Second-stage nerve pedicle transfer
Reports the second stage of a planned nerve pedicle transfer to redirect nerve supply and support reinnervation after nerve injury or loss.
CPT 64907 identifies the second stage of a staged nerve pedicle transfer. The surgeon redirects nerve supply to support reinnervation of a target affected by nerve injury or loss. Peripheral nerve, hand, plastic, or neurosurgeons may perform the procedure in an operating room. The operative record should establish that this is the planned second stage, rather than a separate nerve repair or graft procedure.
Select the code from the documented stage of the nerve-pedicle procedure, not simply from the diagnosis or the number of nerves treated. Record the operative work and its relationship to the planned first stage. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When other procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

64907 billing questions
How is 64907 distinguished from 64905?
64907 is for the second stage of a staged nerve pedicle transfer; 64905 is the first-stage code. The operative documentation should identify the stage performed.
What documentation supports reporting 64907?
Document the second-stage operative work, the donor and recipient nerve structures involved, and how the procedure fits the planned staged transfer.
Can 64907 be reported with another procedure in the same session?
Other separately performed procedures may be reported when supported by the operative record. Medicare applies its standard multiple-procedure reduction when procedures are performed in the same session.
Should modifier 50 be used for bilateral work?
No. The descriptor or anatomy makes modifier 50 inappropriate for this code.
How are assistant and co-surgeon services handled?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
