What 15774 covers

This add-on represents additional placement of the patient’s own fat, harvested using liposuction, into the face, eyelids, mouth, neck, ears, orbits, genitalia, hands, or feet. Plastic and reconstructive surgeons may use the technique to restore volume or address contour defects. For example, facial fat grafting may be performed as part of reconstructive or aesthetic surgery; the recipient site determines which fat-grafting code family applies.

Report 15774 for each additional 25 cc, or part of 25 cc, grafted beyond the amount represented by the primary code 15773. Base the units on the volume grafted, not simply the amount removed from the donor site. The operative report should identify recipient sites and document the volume placed. CMS classifies 15774 as an add-on: report it only with its primary procedure, and payment is within that procedure’s global period.
