About 24320: Elbow-to-shoulder tendon reconstruction
Reports operative reconstruction or reshaping of an individual tendon in the elbow-to-shoulder region when the procedure is a tenoplasty.
Code 24320 represents an operative tenoplasty on a tendon in the elbow-to-shoulder region, reported for each tendon treated. The surgeon reconstructs or reshapes tendon tissue; the procedure is distinct from tendon release, lengthening, transfer, fixation, or a separately defined tendon or muscle repair. Orthopedic surgeons and upper-extremity specialists typically perform it in an operating-room setting when the operative plan calls for tenoplasty of a tendon in this region.
The operative report should identify the tendon and site, describe the reconstructive work performed, and support the number of tendons treated. This major-surgery code has 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% multiple-procedure reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this descriptor and anatomy.

24320 billing questions
How is tenoplasty different from tendon repair?
Use 24320 when the documented operation is a tenoplasty. When the surgeon performs the separately defined repair of a tendon or muscle in the upper arm or elbow, consider 24341 instead.
Should 24320 be reported per tendon?
Yes. The code is reported for each tendon treated, so the operative report should identify the tendon or tendons and the work performed on each.
Can modifier 50 be used when both elbows are treated?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this descriptor and anatomy; modifier 50 should not be used.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
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.
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.
