What 11954 covers

A clinician injects filling material into subcutaneous tissue to add volume or improve a soft-tissue contour defect. Dermatologists and plastic surgeons may perform the service in an office or procedural setting when more than 10 cc of material is used. The code is distinguished from its lower-volume siblings by the amount injected, not by the number of sites treated.

Select the code from documentation of the indication, injection sites, material, and total volume. Medicare payment is restricted to specific circumstances, so the record must support the applicable coverage circumstances. The code has a 0-day global period, which includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

11954 billing questions

How does 11954 differ from 11952?

Choose 11954 when the documented filling-material volume exceeds 10 cc. Code 11952 is for the next lower volume tier, up to 10 cc.

Is the code selected by the number of injection sites?

No. The distinction among these filling-material injection codes is the volume used, rather than the number of sites.

What documentation supports reporting 11954?

Document the clinical indication, injection sites, material, and total volume injected. The record must also support the specific circumstances for which Medicare covers payment.

How does the 0-day global period affect same-day care?

Same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included in the procedure's 0-day global period.

Can modifier 50 be used, or can an assistant be paid?

Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documentation of medical necessity.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
