Wiki Decompression Mortons Neuroma

[aschaeve]

Can some one explain the difference between codes 64704 and 64726.

My doctor is doing this Nerve decompression, 3rd interspace, bilateral.

Thanks,

Alicia, CPC

My only guess is since 64726 is for Plantar digital nerve that 64704 is other nerves of the foot such Sural nerve or as Deep peroneal and others

I'm basing this on nerves of the foot anatomy picture I found on google
