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

What 15877 covers

Suction lipectomy removes subcutaneous fat from the trunk, including areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or back. A surgeon typically performs it in an operating-room setting. The target is fatty tissue removed by suction, rather than excess skin removed by excision. Medicare payment is restricted to specific circumstances, so the record should establish the clinical indication, trunk site, treatment performed, and support for coverage.

Report 15877 when suction lipectomy targets the trunk; documentation should identify the site, method, and clinical indication. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction. Do not append modifier 50. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
