What 14000 covers
An adjacent tissue transfer moves nearby skin and subcutaneous tissue—using an advancement, rotation, or transposition flap, for example—to close a trunk defect. Dermatologic, plastic, and general surgeons commonly perform it after removing a skin lesion or treating a wound when direct closure is unsuitable. The service includes moving the flap and closing the donor area created by that movement.
Select this code by the combined area of the primary defect and the secondary defect created by the flap, not by lesion diameter or flap dimensions; the total must be 10 sq cm or less. Document the trunk location, defect measurements, flap technique, and reason for tissue rearrangement. Excision of the lesion that creates the reconstructed defect and its closure are included. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. In a same-session multiple-procedure claim, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery; 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.

14000 billing questions
How is the 10 sq cm threshold measured?
Use the combined area of the primary defect and the secondary defect created by the flap. Do not select the code using the lesion diameter or flap dimensions.
Can the lesion excision be reported separately?
The excision that creates the defect being reconstructed is included in the adjacent tissue transfer. Do not separately report that excision or a closure of the same defect.
When is 14001 a better choice?
Use 14001 when the combined defect area on the trunk is 10.1 to 30 sq cm. Code 14000 is for a combined area of 10 sq cm or less.
Should modifier 50 be appended for bilateral trunk defects?
No. The CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply to this code, and modifier 50 is inappropriate.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be paid for this procedure?
Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code. 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.
