   CPT $64890$. This code describes autograft repair using a single strand for defects in major peripheral nerves.

6. Which CPT code reports neuroplasty of the digital nerve in the hand or foot (single nerve)?

   CPT $64702$. This code describes neuroplasty for decompression of a single digital nerve in the hand or foot.

7. Which CPT code reports neuroplasty of the ulnar nerve at wrist (Guyon canal release)?

   CPT $64719$. This code specifically reports neuroplasty of the ulnar nerve at the wrist to release compression in Guyon's canal.

8. What CPT code reports removal of spinal neurostimulator electrode plate/paddle from epidural space?

   CPT $63662$. This code reports the removal of a spinal neurostimulator electrode plate or paddle placed via laminectomy from the epidural space.

9. Which CPT code reports revision of spinal neurostimulator electrode percutaneous array in the epidural space?

   CPT $63663$. This code is designated for the revision or repositioning of a percutaneously implanted spinal neurostimulator electrode array in the epidural space.

10. What CPT code range primarily covers peripheral nerve repair, excision, grafting, and transfer procedures?

    CPT $64702$-$64999$. This CPT range includes procedures for neuroplasty, excision, repair, grafting, and transfer specifically for peripheral nerves.

11. Identify the CPT code for cubital tunnel release (ulnar nerve decompression at elbow).

    CPT $64718$. This code reports neuroplasty and/or transposition of the ulnar nerve to decompress it at the elbow for cubital tunnel syndrome.

12. What is the CPT code for excision of neuroma of a digital nerve (single)?

    CPT $64776$. This code reports the excision of a neuroma from a single digital nerve in the hand or foot.

13. Identify the CPT code for implantation of neurostimulator electrode plate/paddle in the epidural space.

    CPT $63655$. This code reports implantation of a neurostimulator electrode plate or paddle via laminectomy for epidural placement.

14. What CPT code reports removal of spinal neurostimulator electrode percutaneous array from epidural space?

    CPT $63661$. This code describes the removal of a percutaneously placed spinal neurostimulator electrode array from the epidural space.

15. Identify the CPT code for implantation of neurostimulator electrode array in the epidural space (spinal cord stimulation).

    CPT $63650$. This code specifically describes percutaneous implantation of a neurostimulator electrode array for spinal cord stimulation in the epidural space.

16. What CPT code range primarily covers neurostimulator electrode and pulse generator procedures for peripheral nerves?

    CPT $64550$-$64590$ (peripheral nerve field stimulation codes). This range encompasses insertion, revision, and removal of neurostimulator electrodes and pulse generators for peripheral nerve stimulation.

17. What is the CPT code for excision of neuroma of a major peripheral nerve (except digital)?

    CPT $64774$. This code is designated for the excision of a neuroma from a major peripheral nerve, excluding digital nerves.

18. What CPT code reports insertion or replacement of spinal neurostimulator pulse generator/receiver?

    CPT $63685$. This code is used for the insertion or replacement of the pulse generator or receiver in spinal neurostimulation systems.
