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

What 54161 covers

This code is for circumcision performed by surgically excising the foreskin in a patient who is at least 28 days old. Urologists, pediatric surgeons, and other surgeons may perform it in an office procedure room or an operating room. Common clinical reasons include phimosis or recurrent inflammation of the foreskin; the record should identify the indication and the excisional approach.

Choose this code by the patient’s age and the method used, not simply by the fact that circumcision was performed. Document the age, indication, and operative work. Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are paid at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this procedure. Assistant-at-surgery services are not paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
