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

What 27634 covers

This code describes surgical removal of a soft-tissue mass in the leg or ankle area that lies beneath the superficial fascia, such as a subfascial or intramuscular lesion, and measures at least 5 cm. An orthopedic surgeon, podiatric surgeon, or other qualified surgeon may perform the procedure in an operating room or, in selected cases, an office procedure setting. The code concerns soft tissue, not a tumor arising in the tibia, fibula, or another bone.

Choose the code based on the lesion’s location, depth, size, and the work performed. The operative report should identify the leg or ankle site, document that the mass is deep, give its size, and describe its removal. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
