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

What 23532 covers

An orthopedic surgeon uses this code for open treatment of a sternoclavicular joint dislocation, at the junction of the sternum and clavicle, when a fascial graft is used. It can describe graft-assisted reconstruction for an acute or chronic dislocation, including a chronic or recurrent instability case requiring operative restoration of joint stability. The operative report should identify the affected joint, the dislocation, and the graft-based work performed.

Report this code rather than the open-treatment code without a graft when the fascial graft is part of the procedure. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to a 50% reduction. Bilateral treatment reported with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
