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

What 54060 covers

This service covers simple surgical excision of one or more lesions on the penis, such as a penile wart, with the removed tissue separated from surrounding tissue rather than ablated. A urologist or another clinician qualified to perform the procedure may do it in an office or outpatient facility, often with local anesthesia. When tissue is submitted for examination, the pathology service is distinct from the excision and may be reported separately when supported.

Select this code for the excision technique and simple service described, not for lesion destruction by chemical treatment, cryosurgery, or laser. The note should identify the penile site, lesion findings, excision performed, and any specimen submitted. Medicare includes related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period. For multiple procedures 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 for this service; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
