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

What 21194 covers

This service reconstructs a defect in the mandible using a bone graft to restore lower-jaw continuity or contour. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons and plastic surgeons may perform it for defects related to trauma, tumor removal, or congenital conditions. The procedure is generally performed in an operating room, with the operative report identifying the mandibular defect and describing the graft reconstruction.

Select this code when the documented reconstruction uses a bone graft; distinguish it from lower-jaw reconstruction without a graft and from variants defined by fixation or segmental work. The record should support the defect treated and the reconstructive technique performed. Medicare 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. The code is priced as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
