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

What 24105 covers

This service removes the bursa over the posterior tip of the ulna, commonly for persistent or recurrent olecranon bursitis that has not resolved with conservative care. An orthopedic surgeon typically performs the open procedure in an operating room or ambulatory surgery setting. The operative target is the bursal sac, not the elbow joint lining or the olecranon bone itself.

Report the code when the operative note supports excision of the olecranon bursa and identifies the affected side and clinical indication. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. For bilateral surgery, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
