What 42600 covers
This operation closes an abnormal tract through which saliva escapes from a salivary gland or duct, such as a persistent opening from a parotid-region fistula to the skin. An otolaryngologist, head and neck surgeon, or oral and maxillofacial surgeon may perform the repair, typically in an operating room. The surgeon identifies the fistulous tract and surgically closes it; this is distinct from simply dilating or ligating a salivary duct.
Report 42600 when the operative service is closure of the salivary fistula. The operative report should identify the fistula’s location and salivary source, describe the closure performed, and distinguish it from a duct repair or ligation. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

42600 billing questions
How is fistula closure different from salivary duct repair?
Use 42600 when the procedure closes an abnormal tract leaking saliva. Codes for duct repair describe repair of the duct itself, rather than closure of a fistula.
Is modifier 50 appropriate for bilateral fistula closure?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
When may an assistant-at-surgery be paid?
Payment is allowed only when the record documents medical necessity for the assistant.
Can co-surgeons or a surgical team be reported?
CMS does not permit co-surgeon or team-surgery payment for this code.
How is 42600 affected when other procedures are performed in the same session?
Under the standard multiple-procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the other procedures are paid at 50%.
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.
