About 23462: Anterior shoulder stabilization with coracoid transfer
Open anterior shoulder stabilization with transfer of the coracoid process is reported for recurrent instability requiring this specific bony augmentation.
This open operation stabilizes an unstable shoulder by moving the coracoid process, with its attached tendon, to the front of the glenoid and securing it there. Orthopedic surgeons typically perform it for recurrent anterior shoulder dislocations or instability when the operative plan calls for coracoid transfer as part of the stabilization. It is distinct from capsular repair alone and from procedures using a different bone-block method.
Report the code when the operative documentation supports both anterior stabilization and coracoid transfer; the transfer is part of the coded service, not a separate procedure to report again. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When other procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

23462 billing questions
When should this code be chosen over a shoulder capsular repair code?
Use it when the documented stabilization includes transfer of the coracoid process. A capsular repair without that transfer is not this service.
Is the coracoid transfer separately billable?
No. The transfer is included in this shoulder stabilization service and should not be reported a second time as a separate procedure.
What documentation supports reporting this code?
The operative report should describe anterior stabilization and the coracoid process transfer, including the transfer’s role in the reconstruction.
How is bilateral reporting handled?
For bilateral performance, report modifier 50; CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 150%.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
