Surgical excision
About 22901: Deep abdominal wall tumor excision, large
Reports removal of a deep abdominal wall tumor measuring at least 5 cm, such as a mass beneath the fascia or within muscle.
This service involves surgically removing a tumor located deep in the abdominal wall, such as beneath the fascia or within muscle, when it measures 5 cm or larger. A surgeon typically performs the excision in an operating room, with the specimen sent for pathologic examination. The code distinguishes a large deep tumor from a smaller deep mass and from a superficial abdominal wall lesion.
Select the code based on the tumor’s documented size and depth, and describe its location and the operative work in the report. The 90-day global period 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 a 50% reduction. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

22901 billing questions
When should I choose this code instead of 22900?
Use this code for a deep abdominal wall tumor measuring 5 cm or larger. Code 22900 is for a deep tumor smaller than 5 cm.
How does this differ from codes 22902 and 22903?
Those codes describe excision of a superficial abdominal lesion. This code is for a tumor in a deep plane, such as beneath fascia or within muscle.
How does this differ from 22905?
Code 22905 describes radical resection of a large abdominal tumor. This code describes excision of a deep tumor of that size; the operative approach and extent of resection guide code selection.
What documentation supports reporting this code?
Document the tumor’s dimensions, its deep location in the abdominal wall, and the excision performed. The operative report should distinguish a deep mass from a superficial lesion.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
An assistant at surgery may be paid. Co-surgeons are paid only with supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
How does the 90-day global period affect postoperative billing?
The global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When other procedures are performed in the same session, standard multiple-procedure reduction applies.
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.
