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

What 69554 covers

An otologist or neurotologist performs an extended operation to remove an aural glomus tumor, a vascular tumor arising in the ear region. These operations take place in the operating room and may involve broader exposure than removal through the ear canal or a transmastoid approach. The operative report should describe the tumor site, surgical approach, exposure, and extent of removal so the extended service is distinguishable from the more limited procedures in this code family.

Report this code for the extended operation, not simply because a tumor is large or difficult; the documented surgical work and approach support the code choice. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. For bilateral surgery reported with modifier 50, CMS pays 150%. Assistant-at-surgery services may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
