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

What 26392 covers

This code represents operative repair or reconstruction of a tendon in the hand, including a procedure involving tendon grafting when that is the technique documented. A hand surgeon or other qualified surgeon typically performs the work in an operating room, often to restore tendon continuity and function after injury or to address a damaged tendon. The operative report should identify the tendon and hand, describe the repair or reconstruction performed, and document graft use when applicable.

Choose this code by matching the operative technique and circumstances to its full CPT descriptor, including distinctions from neighboring codes for primary repair, secondary repair, tendon zone, or graft method. Report units according to the descriptor’s tendon-specific instructions and support them with the operative note. Medicare includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care in the global surgical payment. When multiple procedures occur in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
