What 27632 covers

This code describes operative removal of a soft-tissue mass beneath the skin in the leg or ankle, with the mass measuring at least 3 cm. A surgeon, often an orthopedic surgeon, may perform it for a localized mass such as a lipoma. The operative approach exposes and removes the mass from the subcutaneous tissue; a lesion arising within or below fascia is coded differently. The service may be performed in a hospital or ambulatory surgery setting.

Choose this code when the operative report supports both the subcutaneous location and the size threshold. Document the mass dimensions, its relationship to the fascia, and the extent of removal; pathology can support the diagnosis but does not replace the operative findings. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. For bilateral procedures reported with modifier 50, CMS pays at 150%. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
