What 38240 covers
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation transfers donor-derived blood-forming progenitor cells to a recipient, commonly following conditioning for hematologic malignancy or marrow failure. The graft may be obtained from bone marrow, peripheral blood, or cord blood. A transplant physician manages the recipient’s transplant; infusion is generally performed in a hospital setting.
Report 38240 for transplantation of allogeneic hematopoietic progenitor cells, per donor, rather than for an autologous transplant or a donor lymphocyte infusion. Documentation should establish that donor-derived progenitor cells were transplanted and identify the donor source and recipient service; collection alone is not this service. Medicare payment is restricted to specified circumstances, so apply the applicable coverage criteria. If multiple procedures subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and each other procedure is paid at 50%.
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.

38240 billing questions
How does this differ from 38241?
Use 38240 for donor-derived cells and 38241 for a transplant using the recipient’s own cells. The distinction is the source of the transplanted cells.
Is the code reported per donor or per infusion bag?
It is reported per donor. Do not increase units just because the donor product is divided among bags or administered in portions.
Does this code cover donor cell collection?
It represents the recipient’s allogeneic transplant service, not the donor’s collection. Donor collection services are distinct and require their own documentation and coding.
What documentation supports reporting 38240?
Document that donor-derived hematopoietic progenitor cells were transplanted, identify the donor source, and record the recipient’s transplant service. The record should distinguish the transplant from a lymphocyte infusion or cell boost.
How does the multiple procedure reduction affect payment?
When this and other procedures subject to the standard reduction are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%.
Is Medicare payment available for every allogeneic transplant?
No. CMS lists restricted coverage, meaning payment is limited to specific circumstances. The applicable coverage criteria determine whether the service qualifies.
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.
