About 54304: Chordee correction with fibrous tissue excision
Reports penile straightening for chordee when correction requires excision of fibrous tissue, with or without mobilization of the urethra.
This operation corrects penile curvature caused by chordee by excising fibrous tissue that contributes to the bend. The surgeon may also mobilize the urethra as needed. Pediatric urologists commonly perform it for congenital curvature, including curvature encountered in patients with hypospadias. The operative report should identify the curvature, the fibrous tissue excised, and any urethral mobilization or other reconstruction performed.
Select this code when the chordee correction includes fibrous tissue excision; penile straightening without that excision is represented by a different code. The service has a 90-day global period, which 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 multiple-procedure reduction. Bilateral adjustment is not appropriate. Medicare may pay for an assistant at surgery; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

54304 billing questions
How does this differ from 54300?
Use 54304 when chordee correction includes excision of fibrous tissue. Code 54300 represents penile straightening without that excision.
Does urethral mobilization change code selection?
No. The distinguishing feature is excision of fibrous tissue for chordee correction; urethral mobilization may be performed with the service.
Is postoperative care included?
Yes. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
Can modifier 50 be used for correction on both sides?
No. Bilateral adjustment does not apply to this code, and modifier 50 is inappropriate.
Can an assistant surgeon be reported?
CMS allows payment for an assistant at surgery. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted for this code.
What should the operative note support?
Document the chordee and its correction, specifically the fibrous tissue excised, and describe any urethral mobilization or additional reconstruction.
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.
