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

What 27299 covers

CPT 27299 is reported for an operative service involving the pelvis or hip when no specific CPT procedure code describes the work performed. A surgeon uses it for work in this anatomic area that is not represented by a named procedure code; it is not a substitute for a specific code that fits the operation. The operative report should identify the indication, site, approach, techniques, and work performed, and explain why a specific code does not describe it.

Medicare assigns status C: CMS publishes no national physician fee schedule payment, and the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim and determines the global period. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. For a bilateral procedure reported with modifier 50, payment is at 150%.
