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

What 26123 covers

A hand surgeon removes diseased palmar fascia when a Dupuytren contracture extends from the palm into one finger. The release includes treatment of the affected digit through the proximal interphalangeal joint. Local tissue rearrangement or skin grafting, including graft harvest, may be part of the operation. These procedures are commonly performed in an operating room or ambulatory surgery setting when the contracture limits finger extension or hand function.

Report this code for the palm and one digit; document the affected hand and finger, the contracted fascia treated, and the extent of the release. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care for 90 days. 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%. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
