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

What 60200 covers

This operation addresses a localized thyroid cyst or adenoma, or involves dividing the isthmus, the tissue bridge joining the thyroid lobes. An endocrine or head-and-neck surgeon typically performs it in an operating room. The operative report should identify the lesion or isthmus work and describe what thyroid tissue was removed or divided. A procedure that removes a thyroid lobe or more extensive gland tissue is selected according to its extent rather than reported as a focal lesion excision.

This code has a 90-day global period: the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care through 90 days are included. 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 50% multiple-procedure reduction. An assistant at surgery may be paid. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

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.
