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

What 24076 covers

This operation removes a soft-tissue tumor beneath the deep fascia in the upper arm or elbow region, including an intramuscular mass measuring less than 5 cm. An orthopedic surgeon or other surgeon treating soft-tissue masses typically performs it in an operating room, using dissection through the overlying tissues to reach and remove the tumor. It is distinct from a superficial mass excision and from a radical resection.

Select the code based on the tumor’s location, depth, and size; a deep tumor measuring 5 cm or more is reported with 24073. The operative report should support the arm or elbow site, subfascial depth, tumor measurement, and excision performed. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. In a same-session multiple-procedure claim, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures 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.
