Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 49013 covers

This code describes operative packing through a preperitoneal approach to tamponade bleeding in the pelvis after trauma. A trauma or acute care surgeon typically performs it in the operating room for a patient with severe pelvic bleeding, often associated with an unstable pelvic fracture. The approach targets pelvic hemorrhage; it is distinct from opening the abdomen to investigate intra-abdominal injuries or from angiographic embolization.

Report the code when the documented procedure includes preperitoneal pelvic packing for traumatic hemorrhage. The operative report should support the traumatic indication, approach, and packing performed. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
