About 54406: Removal of multicomponent penile prosthesis
Report removal of all components of a multicomponent inflatable penile prosthesis when the device is explanted and no replacement prosthesis is inserted.
This operation removes the complete implanted system of a multicomponent inflatable penile prosthesis, including its cylinders, pump, and reservoir. Urologists typically perform it in a hospital or ambulatory surgery setting when the device must be explanted, such as for infection, erosion, malfunction, or another clinical reason. The defining distinction is that the prosthesis is removed without replacement during the same operative session; removal of only part of the system is not the service described by this code.
Report the code when the operative record supports removal of all components and confirms that no replacement prosthesis was inserted in that session. If all components are removed and replaced during the operation, consider the applicable removal-and-replacement code instead. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same 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. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

54406 billing questions
When should this code be used instead of 54410?
Use 54406 when all components of a multicomponent inflatable prosthesis are removed and no prosthesis is replaced in that session. When all components are removed and replaced during the same operation, consider 54410 or the applicable more complex removal-and-replacement code.
Does this code include removal of the pump and reservoir?
Yes. The service is removal of the complete multicomponent system, including its cylinders, pump, and reservoir. Document which components were removed.
Can modifier 50 be reported?
No. Medicare identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
How does Medicare handle another procedure performed in the same session?
Under the standard multiple-procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are paid at 50% when performed in the same session.
What documentation supports reporting this code?
The operative report should establish the multicomponent inflatable device, removal of all of its components, and that no replacement prosthesis was inserted during the session.
