Peripheral nerve surgery
About 64910: Peripheral nerve repair with allograft
Reports surgical repair of a peripheral nerve using donor nerve allograft to bridge a defect when direct repair is not feasible.
A surgeon uses donor nerve tissue to reconnect a peripheral nerve across a defect, commonly after traumatic nerve injury or excision leaves a gap that cannot be closed with a tension-free direct repair. The procedure is typically performed in an operating room by a peripheral nerve, hand, plastic, or other surgeon with microsurgical expertise. The allograft serves as the bridge between the nerve ends; this is distinct from using a patient's own vein as a graft.
Report the service when the operative record supports nerve repair using an allograft. Document the nerve treated, the defect and repair, and the graft material used. This major surgery has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. If 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. Bilateral adjustment is inappropriate for this code. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

When should 64912 and 64913 be considered?
Those codes distinguish a first allograft unit from each additional one. Compare the operative work with their specific descriptors before choosing them instead of 64910.
Does the 90-day global include postoperative visits?
Yes. Related postoperative care during the 90-day global period is included, as is the day-before preoperative visit.
How are multiple procedures in the same session paid?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full; other procedures in that session are subject to the standard multiple procedure reduction.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
