Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 11011 covers

This code describes operative debridement at an open fracture or dislocation site, extending through skin and subcutaneous tissue into muscle or fascia, without debridement of bone. The work may include removing contaminated or foreign material from the wound. Orthopedic trauma surgeons commonly perform it during operative care of an open fracture or dislocation in a hospital or other surgical setting.

Choose the code according to the deepest tissue debrided at the fracture site: skin and subcutaneous tissue only points to 11010, while bone debridement points to 11012. The operative report should identify the open injury site, tissues removed, and extent of debridement. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 does not increase payment because CMS prices this code as bilateral. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
