About 23120: Partial clavicle resection
Report partial claviculectomy when a surgeon removes part of the clavicle, commonly the distal end for persistent acromioclavicular joint symptoms.
An orthopedic surgeon typically removes a portion of the clavicle during an operative procedure. A common setting is open distal clavicle excision for symptomatic acromioclavicular joint arthritis, sometimes called a Mumford procedure. The operative report should make clear which portion of the clavicle was removed and the clinical reason for the resection.
Select this code for partial clavicle removal, rather than complete clavicle removal or a procedure focused on another bone or a specific lesion. Document the side, operative findings, extent of bone removal, and procedure performed. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

23120 billing questions
When is partial claviculectomy used instead of complete claviculectomy?
Use this code when the surgeon removes only part of the clavicle. Complete removal is reported with 23125.
Is distal clavicle excision for acromioclavicular joint arthritis a typical example?
Yes. Partial removal of the distal clavicle for symptomatic acromioclavicular joint disease is a common example.
How should bilateral partial claviculectomy be reported?
CMS specifies modifier 50 for a bilateral procedure, paid at 150%. The operative documentation should support treatment of both sides.
What happens when other procedures are performed in the same session?
Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the other procedures are paid at 50%.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made. Co-surgeons are paid only with supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
What documentation supports this code?
The operative report should identify the side, the reason for surgery, and the portion and extent of clavicle removed.
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.
