Neurosurgery
About 62000: Simple depressed skull fracture elevation
Reports surgical elevation of a simple depressed skull fracture when the fracture is treated extradural, rather than as a compound or comminuted injury.
This code describes an operation to raise a depressed portion of the skull in a simple fracture pattern, with treatment extradural. A neurosurgeon or other qualified surgeon typically performs the procedure in an operating room after imaging and examination establish the location and extent of the depression. The operative report should identify the fracture pattern and describe the elevation performed; the code is distinct from treatment of compound or comminuted fractures and from cases involving dural repair.
Select the code from the documented fracture pattern and operative treatment, not from the injury diagnosis alone. The 90-day major-surgery global includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care through day 90. For multiple procedures in one 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 for this code. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

62000 billing questions
How is 62000 distinguished from 62005?
62000 is for a simple depressed fracture treated extradural. 62005 is for a compound or comminuted fracture treated extradural.
When does 62010 apply instead?
62010 describes a compound or comminuted depressed fracture treated with dural repair. The operative report should support both the fracture pattern and the repair performed.
Can modifier 50 be reported?
No. CMS identifies modifier 50 as inappropriate for this code's descriptor or anatomy.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care through day 90.
How are other procedures in the same session paid?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery; co-surgeons and team surgery are 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.
