About 64776: Digital nerve neuroma excision
Reports surgical excision of a neuroma involving a digital nerve in the hand or foot, typically to treat persistent focal nerve pain.
A surgeon excises a neuroma arising from a digital nerve in a finger or toe, commonly to address persistent, localized pain after nerve injury or prior surgery. The procedure may be performed by a hand, orthopedic, plastic, or foot surgeon in an operating room or ambulatory surgery setting. The operative record should identify the affected digit and nerve and describe the neuroma and its excision.
Choose this code for a digital nerve neuroma, rather than a lesion of a cutaneous or larger peripheral nerve. If additional digital nerves are excised in the same operative session, the separate add-on code is available for each additional nerve. Medicare assigns a 90-day major-surgery global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

64776 billing questions
When should this code be selected instead of a cutaneous nerve neuroma code?
Use this code when the excised neuroma involves a digital nerve in the hand or foot. A neuroma of a surgically identifiable cutaneous nerve is represented by a different code.
How is excision of another digital nerve reported?
Code 64778 is the add-on for each additional digital nerve excised. The operative documentation should identify the additional nerve or digit treated.
Can modifier 50 be used when neuromas are excised on both sides?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code. Report the procedures according to the nerves and services documented, subject to applicable claim instructions.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
When is an assistant surgeon payable?
Assistant-at-surgery payment is available only when medical necessity is documented. CMS does not permit co-surgeon or team-surgery payment for this code.
How does Medicare handle multiple procedures in the same session?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction, with payment at 50%.
