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.

54060 billing questions

When should this code be chosen instead of a penile lesion destruction code?

Use 54060 when the clinician surgically excises the lesion. Destruction codes apply when the lesion is treated by a destructive method such as chemical treatment, cryosurgery, or laser.

Can pathology be reported separately?

A pathology service may be reported separately when excised tissue is submitted and the pathologist performs a separately reportable examination. Document the specimen and its disposition.

Does this code have a postoperative global period?

Yes. Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included in the procedure.

Should modifier 50 be used for lesions on both sides?

No. The CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply to this code, and modifier 50 is inappropriate.

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?

Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

What happens when this is performed with another procedure in the same session?

Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to a 50% reduction.

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.
