What 41113 covers

41113 describes surgical removal of a lesion from the tongue followed by a complicated closure. An otolaryngologist, oral and maxillofacial surgeon, or head-and-neck surgeon may perform the procedure in an operating room or another appropriate surgical setting. The operative report should identify the tongue site, describe the excision and closure, and support why the closure was complicated. The code is selected by the work performed, not by the lesion’s diagnosis alone.

Use 41112 for tongue-lesion excision with a routine closure and 41110 when the excision requires no closure. Medicare treats 41113 as major surgery: the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is not appropriate. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service, and co-surgeon and team-surgery billing are not permitted.

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.

41113 billing questions

How is 41113 distinguished from 41112?

Both describe tongue-lesion excision with closure. Choose 41113 when the operative documentation supports a complicated closure; 41112 is for a routine closure.

When should 41110 be used instead?

Use 41110 when the tongue lesion is excised without closure. The closure performed, not simply the lesion’s location, distinguishes it from 41113.

What documentation supports 41113?

Document the tongue site, the lesion excision, the closure performed, and the operative details supporting its complicated nature.

Can modifier 50 be reported for lesions on both sides of the tongue?

No. Modifier 50 is not appropriate for 41113, including when the operative documentation describes bilateral tongue sites.

How does the 90-day global period affect postoperative visits?

The day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included in the global surgery payment.

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be billed for this procedure?

Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for 41113. Co-surgeon and team-surgery billing are not permitted.

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.
