What 54150 covers

Code 54150 represents circumcision performed with a clamp or other circumcision device after regional penile anesthesia, typically a dorsal penile nerve or ring block. A physician, often a pediatrician, family physician, or urologist, may perform it in a newborn nursery, outpatient office, or procedure setting. The key distinction is the device-based technique with the specified regional block, rather than surgical excision of the foreskin.

Report one unit for the circumcision, documenting the device-based method and the regional block. The block is integral to the service described by this code. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When another procedure is performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. Report a single circumcision rather than modifier 50. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; 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.

54150 billing questions

How does 54150 differ from 54160 or 54161?

54150 describes a clamp or other device technique with a regional penile block. Codes 54160 and 54161 describe surgical excision instead; the patient-age distinction separates those two codes.

Is the regional block separately reported with 54150?

The regional block is part of the service described by 54150. Document the block and the device-based circumcision technique.

How many units should be reported?

Report one unit for the circumcision. Modifier 50 is not appropriate for this single procedure.

What happens if another procedure is performed in the same session?

CMS pays the highest-valued procedure in full and applies the standard multiple-procedure reduction to the other procedure. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity.

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.
