About 64566: Percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation treatment
Reports a single percutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation treatment, commonly used for urinary urgency, frequency, or urge incontinence associated with overactive bladder.
A clinician places a fine needle electrode near the posterior tibial nerve at the ankle and delivers electrical stimulation during the treatment. Urologists and urogynecologists commonly use this office-based procedure for patients with overactive bladder symptoms, including urinary urgency, frequency, and urge incontinence. The treatment stimulates the tibial nerve pathway; it does not implant a permanent lead or pulse generator.
Report 64566 for each treatment session, supported by documentation of the indication, the percutaneous stimulation performed, and the treatment date. The needle-electrode placement and stimulation are part of the service. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When performed in the same session as other procedures subject to the multiple procedure rule, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

64566 billing questions
When should 64566 be selected instead of sacral neuromodulation?
Use 64566 for a percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation treatment at the ankle. Sacral neuromodulation codes describe placement of an implanted electrode rather than this single treatment.
Is the needle electrode separately reported?
No. Needle-electrode placement and the electrical stimulation are components of the 64566 treatment.
How many units should be reported?
The code represents one treatment session. Document the date and the stimulation treatment performed; it is not reported by elapsed time.
Should modifier 50 be appended for both ankles?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code.
What happens when another procedure is performed in the same session?
Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other affected procedures are paid at 50%.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documentation of medical necessity. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted for this code.
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.
