What 32674 covers
This add-on represents thoracoscopic removal of mediastinal and regional lymph nodes, often performed by a thoracic surgeon during resection of a lung malignancy for nodal staging. The surgeon identifies and removes lymphatic tissue from the relevant mediastinal and regional areas through the thoracoscopic approach. The service is typically performed in the operating room as part of a lung resection, rather than as a stand-alone procedure.
Report 32674 with an eligible primary thoracoscopic resection, such as lobectomy, segmentectomy, bilobectomy, or pneumonectomy, when the lymph node dissection is performed. The operative report should support that nodal dissection occurred and describe the relevant nodal areas addressed; a lung resection alone does not establish that this additional service was performed. CMS treats 32674 as an add-on code: it is billed only with a primary procedure, and its payment is included within that procedure’s global period.
This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

32674 billing questions
Can 32674 be reported by itself?
No. It is an add-on code and must be billed with a qualifying primary procedure, such as a thoracoscopic lobectomy or segmentectomy.
Which primary procedures are commonly paired with 32674?
It is commonly reported with thoracoscopic lobectomy, segmentectomy, bilobectomy, or pneumonectomy when mediastinal and regional lymph node dissection is also performed.
Does the lung resection alone support reporting 32674?
No. The operative documentation should support that lymph node dissection was performed, with the relevant nodal areas addressed.
How does 32674 differ from 32662?
32674 reports lymph node dissection performed with a primary thoracoscopic procedure. 32662 describes thoracoscopic excision of a mediastinal lesion, not lymphadenectomy.
Does 32674 have a separate global period?
CMS payment for this add-on is within the global period of the primary procedure with which it is billed.
Where these rates come from
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.
