What 27284 covers

An orthopedic surgeon fuses the femoral head and pelvis to eliminate motion at the hip. The operation involves preparing the joint surfaces and stabilizing the bones with fixation; the surgeon may use bone graft as part of the operative plan. Hip fusion is an uncommon salvage choice for severe hip disease when preserving or replacing the joint is not the selected approach, and it is generally performed in a hospital operating room.

Report 27284 for hip arthrodesis without the subtrochanteric osteotomy that distinguishes 27286. The operative report should establish the hip joint fused, laterality, and the procedure performed. The code has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures at 50%. Modifier 50 pays bilateral procedures at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
