What 41108 covers

A clinician removes a tissue sample from the floor of the mouth for diagnostic examination, often when an oral lesion or unexplained tissue change needs evaluation. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons, otolaryngologists, and other clinicians qualified to perform oral procedures may do the biopsy in an office or facility. The specimen is generally submitted for pathologic examination; the biopsy code describes the tissue-sampling procedure, not the pathology interpretation.

Select this code for a biopsy at the floor of the mouth, rather than a biopsy of the tongue or an excision of a lesion. The operative note should identify the sampled site and document that tissue was obtained for diagnosis. CMS 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 other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Do not use modifier 50 for this anatomy. CMS does not pay an assistant at surgery, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
