About 24930: Upper-arm amputation follow-up surgery
Reports follow-up surgery associated with an upper-arm amputation, rather than the initial amputation that removes the limb through the humerus.
CPT 24930 represents follow-up surgery associated with an upper-arm amputation. It is distinct from the initial operation that removes the arm through the humerus. The service is performed in an operating room, typically by an orthopedic or other surgeon managing the amputation. The operative report should identify the prior amputation and describe the follow-up procedure actually performed; the code should not be selected solely because a patient has an amputation or receives routine postoperative care.
Report 24930 when the documented operation matches this follow-up service, not for the initial amputation or a separately described revision. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during the 90 days after surgery. If multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 identifies a bilateral procedure, paid at 150%. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

24930 billing questions
How does 24930 differ from the initial upper-arm amputation code?
24930 is for follow-up surgery associated with an amputation, not the operation that initially removes the arm through the humerus. Use the initial amputation code when that is the service performed.
How is 24930 different from 24935?
24935 is identified as revision of an amputation. Use the code that matches the documented operation; 24930 represents follow-up surgery associated with an upper-arm amputation.
Which documentation supports reporting 24930?
The operative report should identify the prior upper-arm amputation and describe the follow-up operation. The history of an amputation alone does not establish that this surgery was performed.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care for 90 days after surgery.
Can an assistant surgeon be reported?
An assistant at surgery may be paid for this code. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted under the CMS facts provided.
How are multiple procedures or bilateral surgery handled?
For procedures performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. A bilateral procedure reported with modifier 50 is paid at 150%.
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.
