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

What 32484 covers

The surgeon removes one or more anatomically defined portions of a lung while leaving the remaining lung tissue in place. This open operation is commonly performed by a thoracic surgeon for a localized lung lesion, including selected lung cancers when an anatomic resection that preserves more lung than a lobectomy is appropriate. It is performed in a hospital operating room; the operative report should identify the resected segment or segments and the surgical approach.

Report 32484 for the open segmental resection, not for a wedge excision or a thoracoscopic segmentectomy. Documentation should support the anatomic extent of the resection and distinguish it from removal of a lobe or multiple lobes. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
