What 21089 covers
Code 21089 identifies an unlisted maxillofacial prosthetic procedure. It is used when the prosthetic work is not described by a more specific listed CPT service. Nearby listed services cover impression and preparation for a surgical obturator, mandibular resection prosthesis, oral surgical splint, nasal prosthesis, and facial prosthesis. Those listed codes apply when the service performed is the corresponding impression-and-preparation service; 21089 is not a general substitute for them. The code identifies neither a named prosthesis nor a fixed unit of service.
Medicare assigns 21089 physician fee schedule status C: CMS publishes no national payment amount, and the Medicare Administrative Contractor prices each claim. The contractor also sets the global period. Report the code for maxillofacial prosthetic work that lacks a more specific listed CPT code.
