What 54435 covers

A urologist uses this code for operative repair of a penile fracture, usually a tear in the tunica albuginea after forceful bending of an erect penis. The procedure generally involves surgical exploration, management of the associated hematoma, and closure of the tunical defect. It is typically performed in an operating room, often in a hospital or ambulatory surgical setting. The operative report should identify the fracture and describe the repair performed.

Report this code for fracture repair, not for surgery to correct penile curvature or repair a different penile injury. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, which includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during the following 90 days. 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 for this repair. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

54435 billing questions

How is this code distinguished from 54440?

Use 54435 for repair of a penile fracture. Code 54440 is for repair of a penile injury that is not a fracture.

Is this code used for Peyronie's disease surgery?

No. Code 54435 describes repair of a fracture, while 54430 is used for penile surgery to correct angulation associated with conditions such as Peyronie's disease.

Can a separate penile prosthesis repair be reported?

A repair of prosthesis components is a different service, represented by code 54408. The operative documentation must support that implant-component repair was performed in addition to fracture repair.

What postoperative care is included?

The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care for 90 days. The operative report should document the fracture and its repair.

Can modifier 50 or an assistant-at-surgery claim be used?

Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this repair. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for code 54435.

How does Medicare handle other procedures performed in the same session?

The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted for this code.

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.
