Freeing or Rerouting a Cranial Nerve

Idaho rates for HCPCS 64716

Frees a cranial nerve — one of the nerves running directly from the brain to the face, head, or neck — from scar tissue or structures pressing on it, and where needed shifts it onto a new path away from the pressure. Taking the compression off lets the nerve recover the movement or sensation it had been losing. The nerve itself is preserved rather than cut.
