Billing 64615 vs J0585

A complete claim for migraine Botox treatment will have two distinct lines:

  1. 64615: The surgical administration code (Chemodenervation of muscle(s); muscle(s) innervated by facial, trigeminal, cervical spinal and accessory nerves, bilateral).
  2. J0585: The drug supply code (Botox), billed for the exact number of units administered.

Bilateral is Inherent

The descriptor for 64615 explicitly states "bilateral." Therefore, you should NOT append Modifier 50 to 64615. The standard migraine protocol involves 31 injections across the head and neck, and the single unit of 64615 covers all of them.
