CPT code 54360: Penile plastic surgery, curvature correction2026 Medicare rate & RVUs

Medicare pays $652.99 for 54360 nationally in a facility.

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

What 54360 covers

A urologist typically performs this reconstructive procedure to correct penile curvature or angulation, including chordee that may accompany hypospadias. The operation reshapes or adjusts penile tissue to improve alignment; the exact technique depends on the anatomy and operative findings. It is generally performed in an operating-room setting, and the operative report should identify the deformity, the correction performed, and whether urethral mobilization or other reconstruction was part of the work.

Report 54360 when the documented plastic operation matches the service, rather than selecting a hypospadias repair code solely because hypospadias is present. This major surgery has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during that period. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery services may be paid; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
