About 54430: Peyronie curvature repair with graft
Reports operative correction of penile curvature from Peyronie disease when plaque release or removal is combined with graft reconstruction.
A urologist uses this operation to correct penile curvature caused by Peyronie disease when straightening requires graft material after releasing or removing the scarred plaque. The procedure is performed in an operating room, commonly for a patient whose curvature interferes with sexual function. The operative report should identify the deformity and plaque treatment, explain why graft reconstruction was performed, and describe the graft used and the repair achieved.
Choose this code when the Peyronie repair includes grafting; the related procedure without a graft is 54420. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, which includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during that period. 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 50% multiple procedure reduction. The code is priced as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

54430 billing questions
How do I choose between 54430 and 54420?
Use 54430 when the Peyronie repair includes graft reconstruction. Use 54420 for the corresponding repair without a graft.
What documentation supports reporting 54430?
The operative report should establish Peyronie-related curvature, describe plaque release or removal, and document graft placement as part of the reconstruction.
Can 54430 be reported with penile prosthesis insertion?
It may be performed in the same session as prosthesis insertion when erectile dysfunction also requires an implant. Document the distinct work performed for each service; the multiple procedure reduction may apply.
Should modifier 50 be appended?
The code is already priced as bilateral, and modifier 50 does not increase payment.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care for 90 days.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
An assistant at surgery may be paid. CMS does not permit co-surgeons or team surgery for this code.
