Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 15847 covers

This add-on describes the additional work of an abdominoplasty that repositions the umbilicus and tightens the abdominal fascia while excess abdominal skin and tissue are removed. Plastic surgeons commonly perform the work in an operating room, including for patients seeking abdominal contouring after substantial weight loss. The code is reported with the primary abdominal skin-excision service, not by itself.

Medicare assigns CPT 15847 physician fee schedule status C, or carrier priced. CMS publishes no national payment; the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim. The contractor also determines the global period. Report the add-on only when the documented procedure includes the additional abdominoplasty work represented by this code; repositioning the umbilicus and tightening the fascia are part of that work, not separate services under this code.

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.
