About 21193: Lower jaw reconstruction without bone graft
Reports operative reconstruction of the lower jaw when the documented procedure is performed without a bone graft.
CPT 21193 covers operative reconstruction of the lower jaw without a bone graft. Oral and maxillofacial, plastic, or craniofacial surgeons may perform this work to restore mandibular form or function after a defect or deformity. The operative report should identify the mandibular reconstruction performed and establish that a bone graft was not used as part of that reconstruction.
Choose this code based on the documented procedure and graft use, not simply the diagnosis or the fact that the mandible is involved. The code has a 90-day global period, including 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% reduction. The code is priced as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment. Assistant-at-surgery services may be paid; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

21193 billing questions
How do I distinguish 21193 from 21194?
The key distinction is whether a bone graft is used in the lower-jaw reconstruction. Use 21193 for reconstruction without a graft and 21194 when the reconstruction includes a graft.
Does modifier 50 increase payment for 21193?
No. CMS prices 21193 as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery services may be paid. Co-surgeons are paid only when supporting documentation is provided.
How does payment work when another procedure is performed in the same session?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple procedure reduction.
What documentation supports selecting 21193?
The operative report should describe the lower-jaw reconstruction and make clear that no bone graft was used as part of it.
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.
