What 19300 covers
This operation removes breast tissue to treat gynecomastia, or enlargement of male breast tissue. A general or plastic surgeon may perform it in a hospital outpatient department or ambulatory surgery center, with the operative approach guided by the tissue and contour findings. The service is distinct from breast surgery for a tumor and from reduction surgery for generalized breast hypertrophy.
Report 19300 when the operation addresses gynecomastia; the operative report should support the diagnosis and describe the tissue removal performed. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during that period. For bilateral surgery reported with modifier 50, CMS pays at 150%. 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 50% reduction. CMS does not pay 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.

19300 billing questions
How is 19300 different from breast reduction code 19318?
19300 is for surgery addressing gynecomastia. Code 19318 describes reduction surgery for breast hypertrophy, so the documented condition and operation guide the choice.
How should bilateral gynecomastia surgery be reported?
Report modifier 50 for bilateral surgery. CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 150%.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during the 90 days after surgery.
Can an assistant surgeon or co-surgeon be paid?
CMS does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
What happens when another procedure is performed in the same session?
Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, CMS pays the highest-valued procedure in full and pays other procedures at 50%.
What documentation supports reporting 19300?
Document gynecomastia as the condition treated and describe the breast tissue removal performed. The operative report should make clear that the surgery addressed gynecomastia rather than a tumor or generalized breast hypertrophy.
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.
