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

What 27692 covers

Code 27692 represents transfer or transplantation of an additional tendon in the leg or ankle during an operation that also transfers a primary tendon. The surgeon reroutes the additional tendon and secures it at a new attachment to improve movement or balance. Orthopedic surgeons, often in foot-and-ankle or lower-extremity reconstructive surgery, use it when the operative plan includes more than one tendon transfer.

Report 27692 only with the qualifying primary tendon-transfer service, such as 27690 or 27691, and only for tendon work beyond the primary tendon. The operative note should identify each tendon transferred and describe the additional transfer. CMS classifies 27692 as an add-on code: it is not reported alone, and its payment falls within the primary procedure’s global period.
