Hernia surgery
About 49600: Umbilical hernia repair
Surgical repair of an umbilical hernia, reported for the specific repair circumstances defined by this code’s complete CPT descriptor and documentation.
This code represents operative repair of an umbilical hernia. The surgeon addresses the defect at the navel; the service is typically performed by a general surgeon in an operating room or another surgical setting. The operative report should identify the umbilical defect and describe the repair performed. Use the full CPT descriptor to confirm that this code’s specific criteria fit the case rather than relying on the abbreviated CMS label alone.
The code has a 90-day global period, which includes 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. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

49600 billing questions
What documentation supports reporting this code?
The operative report should establish that the hernia is at the umbilicus and describe the repair. Confirm that the case meets the complete CPT descriptor’s criteria before selecting this code.
Does the code include routine postoperative care?
Yes. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
How does the multiple-procedure rule affect payment?
For procedures performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to a 50% reduction.
Can modifier 50 be reported?
No. The CMS facts specify that bilateral adjustment does not apply and modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
An assistant at surgery may be paid. 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.
