About 23200: Radical clavicle tumor resection
Reports radical surgical removal of a tumor involving the clavicle, typically performed by an orthopedic oncologist when extensive tumor resection is required.
This service involves extensive surgical removal of a tumor involving the clavicle, rather than a limited excision or curettage. It is typically performed by an orthopedic oncologist in an operating room, often in a hospital setting, for a tumor whose extent and surgical plan call for radical resection. The operative approach and structures removed depend on the tumor’s location and extent.
Select the code based on the radical nature of the tumor resection and the clavicular site. The operative report should identify the tumor, its relationship to the clavicle, and the extent of resection; imaging and pathology records can support the clinical picture. The service has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. In a same-session multiple-procedure claim, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
