What 21087 covers

This service covers taking an impression of the nasal area and custom-preparing a prosthesis to replace or restore the external nose. It is used for acquired defects, such as after tumor removal or trauma, when a patient needs a prosthetic rather than surgical reconstruction. A maxillofacial prosthodontist, oral and maxillofacial surgeon, or another clinician with relevant prosthetic expertise may perform the work in an office or facility setting.

Report the code for the nasal prosthetic service, not for surgical repair of the nose. Documentation should identify the defect and clinical need and support the impression and custom preparation performed. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are reduced to 50%. Report the nasal service without modifier 50. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; 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.

21087 billing questions

When is 21087 appropriate instead of a facial prosthesis code?

Use 21087 when the custom prosthesis is for the nose. A prosthesis replacing a broader facial area is represented by 21088.

Does this code describe surgical reconstruction of the nose?

No. It covers impression work and custom preparation of a nasal prosthesis, rather than operative repair or reconstruction.

What documentation supports reporting 21087?

Document the nasal defect, the reason a prosthesis is needed, and the impression and custom-preparation work performed.

Should modifier 50 be appended for a nasal prosthesis?

No. Report the nasal prosthetic service without modifier 50.

How are other procedures in the same session paid?

The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures performed in that session are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction.

What is included in the global period?

The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.

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.
