What 26160 covers
A hand surgeon removes a lesion attached to a tendon sheath or joint capsule in the hand or finger. A common example is a ganglion arising from a finger tendon sheath; cystic or other localized lesions may also be treated. The service is typically performed by an orthopedic or plastic surgeon in an operating room or ambulatory surgery setting, with the lesion separated from the involved sheath or capsule and removed.
Select this code when the operative findings identify the lesion as arising from the tendon sheath or joint capsule, rather than as a separate superficial or deep soft-tissue mass. Document the involved structure, location, lesion, and excision. Medicare assigns 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 others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate; assistant-at-surgery payment is statutorily restricted, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

26160 billing questions
How is this different from excision of a hand soft-tissue mass?
Use this code when the lesion arises from a tendon sheath or joint capsule. Codes for hand masses are selected according to the mass's tissue plane and, for some codes, size.
Can a ganglion from a finger tendon sheath be reported with this code?
Yes, when the surgeon excises a ganglion arising from the tendon sheath. The operative note should identify the origin and the structure from which it was removed.
Should modifier 50 be used for lesions on both hands?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code.
How does the 90-day global period affect postoperative visits?
The day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included in the global period.
How are other procedures in the same session paid?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple procedure reduction. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
