What 32669 covers

This video-assisted thoracoscopic operation removes one anatomically defined bronchopulmonary segment while preserving the rest of the lobe. A thoracic surgeon may perform it for a localized lung lesion when anatomic segment removal is selected rather than a nonanatomic wedge or removal of an entire lobe. The procedure is performed in an operating room, generally under general anesthesia with thoracoscopic instruments and lung isolation.

Report 32669 when the operative report supports thoracoscopic anatomic segmentectomy. Document the side, segment removed, indication, and extent of resection. CMS 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 the others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
