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

What 26554 covers

A surgeon transfers two toe units to the hand to reconstruct missing or nonfunctional digits, using microsurgical techniques to connect the transferred tissue to the recipient site. Hand and reconstructive microsurgeons perform this operation, commonly for congenital hand differences or after traumatic digit loss, in an operating room setting. The double transfer describes the number of toes transferred; it does not mean transfers to both hands.

Select this code when the operation transfers two toes to the hand, and retain the operative report to support the number of transferred toes and the reconstructive work performed. The service has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during that period. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons are paid only with supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
