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

What 26372 covers

This operation restores flexion at the fingertip after an earlier profundus tendon injury that cannot be repaired directly. A hand surgeon reconstructs the profundus tendon with a free tendon graft while the superficialis tendon remains intact. It is typically performed in a surgical facility for a finger that has lost active fingertip flexion after a prior laceration. Obtaining the graft is included in the repair.

Select 26372 for a secondary repair with a free graft, rather than a primary repair or a secondary repair without a graft. The operative report should identify the injured tendon, confirm the condition of the superficialis tendon, describe the graft, and identify each tendon repaired. CMS assigns a 90-day global period that includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, CMS pays the highest-valued procedure in full and others at 50%. Do not use modifier 50 for this code. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeon and team-surgery billing are not permitted.
