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

What 24075 covers

This service removes a small soft-tissue mass located beneath the skin in the upper arm or elbow area. Typical examples include a subcutaneous lipoma or other discrete mass requiring excision rather than tissue sampling alone. Orthopedic, hand, or general surgeons may perform the procedure in an office, ambulatory surgery center, or hospital operating room. The code is for a subcutaneous mass, not a mass situated in deeper tissue planes or a skin-only lesion.

Report it when the operative documentation supports the arm or elbow site, subcutaneous depth, and lesion size under 3 cm, and describes removal rather than biopsy alone. The code has a 90-day global period: the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included. For multiple procedures in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
