Surgical Repair Of A Major Arm Or Leg Nerve

Illinois rates for HCPCS 64857

This procedure surgically repairs a major nerve in the arm or leg, other than the sciatic nerve, by stitching the cut or damaged ends back together. It does not include rerouting the nerve to a new position to reduce tension on the repair; that is handled as a separate procedure when needed. It is used after an injury has severed or badly damaged a large nerve, to help restore sensation and movement in the limb.
