What 54065 covers

This service covers extensive destruction of penile lesions, including condylomata, molluscum contagiosum, or herpetic lesions. A urologist or other qualified clinician may perform it in an office procedure room or facility using a destructive approach such as electrosurgery, cryosurgery, laser treatment, or curettage. The code reflects extensive treatment rather than a specific instrument or a stated lesion count.

Choose this service when the documented extent of treatment is greater than the simple destruction represented by related penile lesion codes. Record the lesions treated, their location and extent, and the method used. Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included. 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. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service; co-surgeons and team surgery 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.

54065 billing questions

How is this code different from simple penile lesion destruction?

Use 54065 for extensive destruction; simple destruction codes in this family are differentiated by treatment method. Document the extent of treatment rather than relying on the instrument alone.

Can modifier 50 be reported for lesions on both sides?

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

Are postoperative visits separately reported?

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

How does the multiple-procedure reduction work?

For procedures performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are paid at 50% under the standard multiple-procedure reduction.

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.

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.
