Hi everyone,
Which code 64722 or 64708 best describes radial tunnel decompression at the forearm?
Anyone have reasons for either, suggestions. opinions accepted
thanks in advance for the help!

64708 has a location in the description

I would say in your case 64708 because its for a major specified peripheral nerve.

64722 does not state a location such as peripheral. Code 64708 fits best.
