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

What 56633 covers

A radical complete vulvectomy removes the entire vulva along with deeper tissue as required for the surgical margins. Gynecologic oncologists typically perform it in an operating room for extensive vulvar disease, including cancer requiring a more radical excision than a simple vulvectomy. This code represents the vulvar operation without inguinofemoral lymphadenectomy; codes in the same family identify procedures that include lymph node dissection.

Choose this code when the operative report supports both complete removal and radical depth, rather than a partial or simple vulvectomy. Document the extent of vulvar excision and whether inguinofemoral nodes were removed. The 90-day global includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. In a same-session multiple-procedure claim, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Medicare may pay an assistant at surgery and permits co-surgeons; team surgery is not permitted.
