What 11980 covers

A clinician places one or more hormone pellets into subcutaneous tissue through a small incision or insertion site. This is commonly performed in an office by clinicians providing hormone therapy, including gynecologists, urologists, endocrinologists, and other qualified providers. The upper buttock or hip region is a typical site. The pellets provide a sustained hormone source after placement; this code represents the implantation procedure, not a skin injection or insertion of a contraceptive capsule.

Report the service for the implantation encounter, documenting the hormone product, number of pellets, insertion site, and procedure performed. The code describes pellet implantation rather than a separate unit for each pellet. It has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery, and 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.

11980 billing questions

How is this different from 11981?

Use 11980 for hormone pellet implantation. Code 11981 describes insertion of a drug-delivery implant and is not the hormone-pellet code.

Should units be reported for each pellet?

The service is the implantation procedure; the code is not reported as one unit per pellet. Document the number of pellets placed.

Does the 0-day global period include same-day follow-up care?

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

Can modifier 50 be used for pellets placed on both sides?

No. The CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply to this code, and modifier 50 is inappropriate.

Can an assistant surgeon or co-surgeon be reported?

Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

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.
