Graft harvest
About 20920: Fascia lata graft harvest
Reports harvest of a patient’s fascia lata for grafting, commonly obtained from the thigh during reconstructive surgery for use at another site.
This service covers obtaining the patient’s fascia lata as graft material, typically through an incision over the thigh. A surgeon harvests the tissue during an operation in which the graft will be used for reconstruction elsewhere. Examples include obtaining fascia lata for a frontalis sling in ptosis repair or for other reconstructive procedures requiring autologous fascia. The harvest and the recipient-site work may involve different anatomic locations.
Report the code when the operative documentation supports fascia lata procurement, rather than harvest of bone, cartilage, or tendon. The record should identify the tissue obtained and describe the harvest performed; report the recipient procedure separately when supported by its own coding rules. This major surgery code includes 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% multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

20920 billing questions
How is 20920 distinguished from 20922?
Both concern fascia lata graft procurement. Compare the full code descriptors with the documented harvest technique and extent; the recipient site alone does not distinguish them.
Can the graft harvest be reported with the reconstruction?
The harvest and recipient-site reconstruction are distinct services when each is supported by the operative report. Apply the applicable coding rules for the reconstruction as well as this code’s multiple-procedure payment reduction.
Can modifier 50 be used for bilateral fascia lata harvest?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code.
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 surgeon or co-surgeon be paid?
Assistant-at-surgery payment is subject to a statutory restriction. Co-surgeons are paid only when supporting documentation is provided; team surgery is not permitted.
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.
