Urology surgery
About 54110: Penile plaque or lesion excision
Surgical treatment of a penile plaque or lesion, commonly a Peyronie's plaque, when the service removes or treats the lesion rather than sampling it for diagnosis.
A urologist typically performs this operation to treat a penile plaque or other lesion, including a Peyronie's plaque associated with curvature. The surgeon treats or removes the abnormal tissue; this is a therapeutic procedure, not a diagnostic sample alone. Medicare claims for this service are predominantly facility-based, such as hospital outpatient or ambulatory surgery settings.
Select the code when the operative report supports treatment of the penile lesion without the graft work represented by related codes. Document the lesion, the therapeutic objective, and the work performed; use a penile biopsy code when the service is diagnostic sampling instead. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during that period. When multiple procedures occur in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeon and team-surgery billing are not permitted.

54110 compared with similar codes
Office rates for Modesto, from the same CMS release.
54105 is for diagnostic biopsy involving deeper penile tissue. It is not the treatment code when the surgeon treats the lesion itself.
54111 is a related treatment code with graft work. Use 54110 for the treatment represented here when the documented procedure does not include that graft work.
54112 is another graft-associated penile lesion treatment code. Base the choice between it and 54110 on the specific operative work, including whether graft work was performed.

54110 billing questions
When should I report this instead of a penile biopsy code?
Report this service when the operative purpose is to treat the penile plaque or lesion. Use a biopsy code when the service is diagnostic tissue sampling rather than therapeutic removal.
How does this differ from the graft-related penile lesion codes?
This code represents treatment without the graft work associated with 54111 and 54112. Use the code that matches the procedure documented in the operative report.
Can I report a biopsy code for tissue removed during treatment?
Do not select a biopsy code simply because tissue was submitted for examination. The operative purpose and work performed determine whether the service was diagnostic sampling or definitive treatment.
What documentation supports the claim?
Document the penile lesion or plaque, the reason for treatment, and the operative steps that treated or removed it. The report should also make clear whether graft work was performed.
Which modifiers and global-period rules matter?
Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this service. Medicare includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care in its major-surgery global period; an assistant may be paid, but co-surgeon and team-surgery billing are not permitted.
What happens when another procedure is performed in the same session?
Medicare pays the highest-valued procedure in full and applies the standard multiple-procedure reduction to the other procedures in that session.
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.
