What 41100 covers
This service samples tissue from the front two-thirds of the tongue, from the tip through the body, for pathologic examination. An otolaryngologist, oral and maxillofacial surgeon, or other qualified clinician may perform it in an office or facility. Common reasons include evaluating a persistent tongue ulcer or a suspicious white or red mucosal patch. The biopsy obtains diagnostic tissue; it is not reported in place of an excision that removes the lesion.
Document the exact tongue site, the clinical concern, and the tissue obtained for examination. Choose the posterior-tongue biopsy code when the sampled site is in the back third, and use a floor-of-mouth code for tissue from that separate site. Medicare assigns a 10-day global period, so related postoperative visits during that period are included. 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. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

41100 billing questions
How does 41100 differ from 41105?
41100 is for sampling the anterior two-thirds of the tongue. Use 41105 when the biopsy site is in the posterior third.
Should 41100 be used when the entire lesion is removed?
No. This code describes diagnostic tissue sampling; select the applicable tongue-lesion excision code when the lesion is removed.
Can the pathology examination be billed separately?
The tissue examination is a separate laboratory service when performed and reported by the laboratory. The biopsy claim represents the clinician's sampling procedure.
Is modifier 50 appropriate for biopsies on both sides of the tongue?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code.
How are other procedures in the same session paid?
Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the remaining procedures at 50%. Related postoperative visits are included for 10 days.
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.
