What 21123 covers

A surgeon cuts and moves the chin portion of the mandible, then places bone between the repositioned segment and the remaining jaw to augment the chin. This approach may be selected when sliding the bone alone would leave a gap or provide insufficient projection or height. Oral and maxillofacial, plastic, or craniofacial surgeons typically perform the operation in a hospital or ambulatory surgical setting.

Report 21123 when the operative record supports both a sliding chin osteotomy and augmentation with an interpositional graft. Document the osteotomy, the segment’s repositioning, and the graft placement; simple augmentation without sliding or a sliding osteotomy without grafting points to a different code. 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 subject to the standard 50% reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team-surgery payment is not permitted.

21123 billing questions

How is 21123 different from 21121?

21123 describes a sliding chin osteotomy with interpositional graft augmentation. Use 21121 for a single-piece sliding genioplasty without that graft augmentation.

Can 21123 be reported with 21120 for the same chin?

Do not report a second genioplasty code for the same chin work simply to represent the graft. Choose the code that matches the operation performed.

Should modifier 50 be appended for work on both sides?

No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code; modifier 50 does not describe the midline chin procedure.

What documentation supports reporting 21123?

The operative report should identify the sliding osteotomy, how the chin segment was repositioned, and placement of an interpositional bone graft for augmentation.

How does the 90-day global period affect postoperative visits?

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

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?

Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team-surgery payment is not permitted.

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.
