Is Chemodenervation the same as Botox?
Botox®, a neurotoxin made from a substance called botulinum toxin, is well known as an anti-aging “wrinkle-remover,” but it can also be used non-cosmetically as a treatment known as chemodenervation. Chemodenervation can help people with movement disorders caused by a variety of conditions.
What is muscle Chemodenervation?
Chemodenervations (i.e., botulinum toxin injections) are intramuscular injections of neurotoxins. The toxin acts by blocking release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction thus reducing the tone of overactive muscles.
What is Chemodenervation of one extremity?
Chemodenervation is an attractive option for the management of limb spasticity, as it is a local injection technique that may be used to manage focal muscle overactivity while minimizing systemic side effects. Commonly used chemodenervation agents include botulinum toxin (BoNT), phenol and alcohol.
What is Chemodenervation of internal sphincter?
A Botox injection (chemo denervation of internal sphincter) is a procedure performed to treat anal fissures. An anal fissure is a split in the lining of the anal canal, possibly resulting from a hard bowel movement. Muscle spasms and subsequent bowel movements prevent healing.
What is Chemodenervation of the bladder?
Bladder chemodenervation is effective in treating neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) in patients with neurogenic bladder due to spinal cord injury. Anecdotal reports also describe the improvement of non-bladder symptoms, specifically those related to autonomic dysreflexia (AD) and muscle spasticity.
What is Chemodenervation of eccrine glands?
Chemodenervation of sweat glands using botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A), which has long-lasting therapeutic efficacy with minimal adverse effects, has emerged as a unique therapy for treating primary axillary hyperhidrosis.

Fissurectomy is one of the options among those techniques to treat chronic anal fissures. Many surgeons used this technique in patients with a high risk of incontinence, such as old age people, multiparous women, patients with the normal anal tone, and patients with a previous history of anorectal surgery [9].
Who performs a sphincterotomy?
A sphincterotomy is generally performed under local anesthesia. The surgeon performs the surgery in two ways. In an open sphincterotomy, the surgeon makes a small cut in the skin to reach the sphincter muscle.
What is the CPT code for chemodenervation?
CPT ® codes 64642, 64643, 64644, 64645, 64646, 64647; HCPCS codes J0585, J0586, J0587, J0588 *64999 to be billed only with L74.512 and L74.513 with chemodenervation.
How do you code chemodenervation of the larynx?
Because the injections occur bilaterally, proper coding is 64616-50 and +95874. Report a single unit of 64617 for unilateral chemodenervation of the larynx muscle (s). For bilateral injections, you may append modifier 50.
What is not medically necessary in conjunction with chemodenervation?
The use of electrical muscle stimulation or needle electromyography may be considered medically necessary for guidance in conjunction with chemodenervation. The use of chemodenervation is considered not medically necessary for cosmetic purposes as well as all other indications.
What are the CPT codes for chemodenervation of neck muscles?
Two CPT codes for chemodenervation of neck muscles (64613) and for truncal/extremity muscles (64614) were deleted. Coding Table 4.
