Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 11005 covers

This code describes operative debridement for a necrotizing soft tissue infection involving the abdominal wall, such as necrotizing fasciitis. The surgeon removes infected or necrotic skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscle, and fascia. It is typically performed in a hospital operating room when urgent source control is needed; the operative report should identify the abdominal-wall involvement and the tissues actually debrided.

Select this code for the abdominal wall alone, not by measuring wound surface area or choosing the deepest tissue level as with routine wound-debridement codes. Document the infection, anatomic extent, and debridement performed. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. An assistant at surgery is payable only when medical necessity is documented; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
