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

What 32662 covers

A thoracic surgeon uses a thoracoscope and instruments introduced through small chest incisions to remove a cyst, tumor, or other mass in the mediastinum, the area between the lungs. This is a surgical excision, not simply a tissue sample. The service is typically performed in an operating room for a patient with a mediastinal lesion requiring removal.

Report the code when the operative record supports thoracoscopic excision of the mediastinal target; document its location and the work performed. The service has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Bilateral adjustment is inappropriate for this code. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
