What 23075 covers

A surgeon removes a soft-tissue lesion from the subcutaneous layer of the shoulder area, such as a small lipoma, rather than sampling it for diagnosis alone. The procedure may be performed in an office-based operating room or a hospital or ambulatory surgery facility. The key distinctions are the lesion’s size and its depth: it is under 3 cm and remains superficial to the deep fascia.

The operative report should identify the shoulder site, lesion size, tissue plane, and whether the lesion was excised. This major surgery code has 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 others at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery services are not paid; 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.

Use this code for a subcutaneous shoulder lesion under 3 cm. Code 23071 describes the corresponding subcutaneous size category of 3 cm or greater.

How does this differ from 23076?

This code is for a lesion in the subcutaneous layer under 3 cm. Code 23076 describes excision of a deep shoulder soft-tissue tumor under 5 cm.

Can this code be used for a biopsy?

It describes excision, not a diagnostic sample alone. For a shoulder-tissue biopsy, consider the biopsy code that matches the documented tissue depth, such as 23065 for superficial tissue.

What documentation supports the size and depth?

The operative report should state the lesion’s measured size and whether it was confined to subcutaneous tissue or extended below the fascia. Include the shoulder location and the removal performed.

How are bilateral procedures and additional same-session procedures handled?

A bilateral procedure reported with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. For multiple procedures in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%.

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.
