Dive Into This Hydrodissection Scenario

Question: My podiatrist performed a hydrodissection decompression of the superficial peroneal nerve tunnel bilaterally. I’m not sure which CPT® code to report for this procedure. Can you please help me?

Alabama Subscriber

Answer: You should report 64722 (Decompression; unspecified nerve(s) (specify)).

Don’t miss: Hydrodissection of the superficial perineal nerve falls under code 64722, which is a broad category to include neuroplasty, (exploration, neurolysis, or nerve decompression) on peripheral nerves, extracranial nerve, and the automatic nervous system.
