What 14061 covers

A surgeon moves and rearranges skin next to a defect to close it, using techniques such as rotation, advancement, or transposition flaps. The code covers repairs involving the eyelid, nose, ear, or lip when the defect area is 10.1–30 sq cm. These repairs commonly follow removal of a skin cancer, including Mohs surgery, and may be performed by a plastic, dermatologic, oculoplastic, or otolaryngologic surgeon in an office or facility setting. Excision of the lesion being repaired is included in the tissue-transfer service.

Report the code for the documented defect area and eligible anatomic site; the record should identify the site, defect dimensions or area, and tissue-rearrangement method. The day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included in the global period. 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 multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. Medicare does not pay for 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.

14061 billing questions

How is 14061 distinguished from 14060?

Both cover adjacent tissue rearrangement of the eyelid, nose, ear, or lip. Select 14061 for a defect area of 10.1–30 sq cm; 14060 is for a defect of 10 sq cm or less.

Can the lesion excision be billed separately?

Excision of the lesion being repaired is included in the adjacent tissue-transfer service. Document the defect and the tissue rearrangement used to close it.

Should modifier 50 be appended for bilateral repairs?

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 reported?

Medicare does not pay for 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.
