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

What 20902 covers

This service covers taking a substantial amount of the patient’s own bone from a donor site for use elsewhere in a reconstructive procedure. A common source is the iliac crest. Orthopedic and reconstructive surgeons may harvest bone for procedures such as treating a nonunion, filling a defect, or supporting a fusion. The code represents the harvest, not the work of placing the graft at the recipient site.

Choose this level when the harvest is major or large, rather than a small graft or bone obtained locally through the operative exposure. The operative report should identify the donor site, describe the extent of the harvest, and explain the graft’s intended use. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
