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

What 56620 covers

A simple partial vulvectomy removes a portion of vulvar tissue. A gynecologic surgeon typically performs it in an operating room for a localized vulvar condition requiring excision rather than diagnostic sampling alone. The operative note should identify the vulvar site and extent removed, the indication, and the procedure performed; the specimen can then be matched to the pathology record.

Select this code for a partial, simple excision, rather than a complete simple vulvectomy or a radical operation. The service has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in one 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 for this code. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be allowed; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
