About 41806: Foreign-body removal from jawbone

Removal of a retained object embedded in maxillary or mandibular bone, reported when treatment targets the jawbone rather than adjacent gum tissue.

This service removes a retained object embedded in the upper or lower jawbone. An oral and maxillofacial surgeon or another qualified clinician may perform it in an office or facility setting, depending on the object’s location and the access required. The defining feature is that the object is in bone, not merely in the gum or another soft-tissue area of the mouth.

Report the code when the operative record supports removal from jawbone. Document the object, its precise location, the procedure performed, and findings that establish the bony site. Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included. If multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

41806 billing questions

How is this distinguished from 41805?

Use 41806 when the object is embedded in jawbone. Code 41805 applies when the object is in gum tissue.

What documentation supports reporting this code?

Document the object and its specific location in the maxilla or mandible, along with the removal performed and findings supporting the bony site.

Are related postoperative visits separately reported?

Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included in the procedure.

Should modifier 50 be used for objects on both sides?

No. The CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply, and modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code.

Can an assistant surgeon be reported?

Assistant-at-surgery payment is available only when medical necessity is documented. Co-surgeons and team surgery are 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.
