Peripheral nerve surgery
About 64774: Cutaneous nerve neuroma excision
Reports surgical excision of a symptomatic neuroma arising from a cutaneous nerve, such as a painful nerve lesion in a prior incision scar.
This service removes a symptomatic neuroma arising from a cutaneous sensory nerve. A typical situation is a painful nerve-end lesion in a surgical scar or after nerve injury. The surgeon identifies and excises the neuroma; the code is specific to a cutaneous nerve, rather than a digital or major peripheral nerve. Surgeons in specialties such as plastic, orthopedic, or general surgery may perform it in an operating room or another appropriate surgical setting.
Select the code when documentation supports excision of a cutaneous nerve neuroma and identifies the treated nerve and site. Distinguish a neuroma from a cutaneous nerve neurofibroma or neurilemmoma, and from a lesion of a digital or major peripheral nerve. This major surgery code has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur 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 is statutorily restricted, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

64774 billing questions
When is 64774 appropriate instead of 64776?
Use 64774 for excision of a cutaneous nerve neuroma. Code 64776 is for a neuroma of a digital nerve.
How does 64774 differ from 64788?
64774 describes excision of a cutaneous nerve neuroma. 64788 is for a cutaneous nerve neurofibroma or neurilemmoma.
What documentation supports reporting 64774?
Document the neuroma diagnosis, the cutaneous nerve and site involved, and the surgical excision performed. The record should distinguish the lesion from a digital or major peripheral nerve lesion.
Should modifier 50 be appended for bilateral lesions?
No. The CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply to this code, and modifier 50 is inappropriate.
How does the global period affect postoperative visits?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others are subject to the standard reduction.
