Nerve Transection CPT 64772

Question:

How do I code an AIN and/or PIN Neurectomy?

Answer:

You're question is excellent timing. CPT code 64772 Transection or avulsion of other spinal nerve, extradural is used for an AIN and/or PIN Neurectomy.  In January 2026, CMS increased the MUE (medically unlikely edit) for 64772 from 2 units to 6 units.
