Medicare Coverage for Mortons Neuroma Treatment Using Alcohol Sclerosing Injections and CPT 64632

Does Traditional Medicare cover the treatment of a Mortons Neuroma (G57.61/G57.62) with the use of Alcohol Sclerosing Injections? Neurolytic Destruction of Planter Common Digital Nerve CPT 64632. (The code is assigned a fee in the Medicare Fee Schedule)

The local Medicare contractor for New York does not have an LCD or coding article that specifically states if this injection is covered for Morton’s Neuroma. However, other Medicare contractors do have coverage documents that do state that CPT 64632 with a diagnosis of G57.61-63 is medically necessary and covered. This procedure should be able to be performed on the Medicare beneficiary with no concerns regarding reimbursement.
