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

What 24126 covers

An orthopedic surgeon removes or curettes a bone cyst or benign tumor in the radius and fills the resulting defect with donor bone allograft. The service is performed in an operative setting; the operative report should identify the radius, describe the lesion and its removal, and document use of allograft. This code describes treatment of a benign lesion, not a radical resection for a malignant tumor.

Select this code when the treated bone is the radius and allograft is used. The no-graft and autograft options are distinct codes in the same procedure family. CMS assigns a 90-day major-surgery 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 others at 50%. For bilateral surgery, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
