Plastic surgery

About 14041: Adjacent tissue transfer, specified sites

Reports local tissue rearrangement to close a 10.1–30 sq cm defect on specified face, neck, axillary, genital, hand, or foot sites.

A surgeon moves neighboring skin and tissue—using an advancement, rotation, or transposition flap, for example—to close a defect on the forehead, cheek, chin, mouth, neck, axilla, genitalia, hand, or foot. This is commonly performed after removing a skin lesion or to reconstruct a traumatic or surgical defect. Plastic, dermatologic, otolaryngology, and hand surgeons may perform the service in an office procedure room or operating room.

Select 14041 when the combined primary and secondary defect area is 10.1–30 sq cm; use the applicable site and size code when the anatomy or area differs. Document the treated site, flap technique, and measurements supporting the total defect area. Lesion excision performed as part of the tissue transfer is included in the service. The code has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures at 50%. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

Which area should the surgeon document?

Document the defect measurements supporting the code, including the primary defect and the secondary defect created by moving the flap.

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?

Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the other procedures are paid at 50%.

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.
