What 24077 covers

This code describes radical resection of a soft-tissue tumor in the upper arm or elbow area, with a tumor size under 5 cm. The surgeon removes the tumor with surrounding tissue as needed for an oncologic resection, rather than simply shelling out or locally excising a mass. Orthopedic oncologists and other surgeons treating soft-tissue tumors may perform the procedure in a hospital operating room or an appropriately equipped outpatient surgical setting.

Choose the code based on the operative work, anatomic area, and tumor size: the documentation should establish a radical resection and support the under-5-cm category. Include the tumor’s location and size and describe the extent of tissue removed. The service has 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 the others at 50%. Modifier 50 for bilateral surgery is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
