About 32667: Additional thoracoscopic therapeutic lung wedge resection
Reports each additional thoracoscopic therapeutic wedge excision of lung tissue after the initial wedge resection during the same operative session.
This code represents an additional therapeutic wedge excision of lung tissue performed through thoracoscopy, beyond the initial wedge resection. A thoracic surgeon may remove additional peripheral lung nodules or masses during an operative session, whether the additional resection is in the same lobe or another lobe. The service is typically performed in a hospital operating room or other surgical facility.
Report 32667 with the primary thoracoscopic therapeutic wedge resection, 32666, when the operative report supports one or more additional therapeutic wedge resections. Documentation should distinguish the initial resection from each additional excision and identify the targets and lung locations. This is an add-on code: CMS requires it to be billed with a primary procedure, and its payment is included within that procedure’s global period.

32667 billing questions
Can 32667 be billed by itself?
No. It is an add-on code reported with the primary thoracoscopic therapeutic wedge resection, generally 32666, and is paid within that procedure’s global period.
How many units should be reported?
Report each additional therapeutic wedge resection beyond the initial one. The operative note should identify the additional excisions and their lung locations.
How is 32667 different from 32666?
32666 represents the initial therapeutic wedge resection; 32667 represents each additional therapeutic wedge resection in the operative session.
When is 32668 more appropriate?
Use 32668 for a diagnostic wedge resection followed by an anatomic lung resection. Use 32667 for additional therapeutic wedge resections, not that diagnostic-to-anatomic sequence.
Does 32667 describe a lobectomy or segmentectomy?
No. It describes additional wedge excision. Codes 32663 and 32669 represent thoracoscopic lobectomy and segmentectomy, respectively.
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.
