Dermatology procedure
Reports injectable filler treatment to restore facial soft-tissue volume lost through facial lipodystrophy, including lipoatrophy associated with HIV therapy.
G0429 is for injecting dermal filler to address facial volume loss from facial lipodystrophy, such as sunken cheeks associated with HIV treatment. Dermatologists and plastic surgeons commonly perform the injections in an office setting, placing filler into affected facial soft tissue to improve contour. The code is specific to this therapeutic indication, not simply to the use of filler for cosmetic enhancement.
The record should identify facial lipodystrophy, the treated areas, the medical reason for treatment, and the injection service. This is a minor procedure with a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. 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. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

Assistant-at-surgery payment is allowed only when medical necessity is documented. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
