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

What 63272 covers

A neurosurgeon or spine surgeon uses a lumbar approach to open the spinal canal and remove or evacuate a lesion located within the dura that is not a neoplasm. Examples may include an intradural cyst or a collection requiring evacuation. The operative report should establish the lumbar level, the lesion’s intradural location, and the work performed; the code is not selected for a neoplasm or an extradural lesion.

Report this code when the documented procedure and lesion location support that service, rather than a code for a different spinal region or compartment. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. 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% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

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.
