What 27076 covers
This code covers extensive operative removal of a tumor in the hip or pelvic region when the resection includes the acetabulum. Orthopedic oncologic surgeons commonly perform the procedure for primary bone tumors or other tumors requiring radical excision in this area. The operation may involve removing tumor-bearing acetabular bone along with involved surrounding tissue; the operative report should identify the tumor site and describe the extent of resection.
Choose this code when acetabular resection is part of the radical tumor operation, rather than a more limited tumor or bone-lesion removal. Documentation should establish the tumor location, structures removed, and the acetabular involvement. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures at 50%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

27076 billing questions
How does this differ from 27075?
Use 27076 when radical tumor resection includes the acetabulum. Code 27075 describes radical resection in the hip and pelvic area without that acetabular inclusion.
When would 27077 or 27078 be a closer match?
Those related radical tumor-resection codes distinguish operations that include the innominate bone or femur, respectively. Select according to the bone included in the documented resection.
What operative documentation supports 27076?
Document the tumor's location and the structures removed, including the acetabular resection and the extent of the radical excision.
Can modifier 50 be used for bilateral work?
No bilateral adjustment applies to this code; the descriptor and anatomy make modifier 50 inappropriate.
How are other procedures in the same session paid?
Under the standard multiple-procedure rule, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are paid at 50%.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
