Orthopedic surgery
About 24150: Radical humeral tumor resection
Radical resection of a tumor in the distal or shaft humerus, reported when surgery removes the tumor-bearing bone beyond a limited excision.
An orthopedic oncologist typically performs this operation to remove a tumor involving the shaft or distal portion of the humerus, the upper-arm bone. The surgeon removes the tumor-bearing area as a radical resection rather than scraping or taking only a limited portion of bone. These procedures are generally performed in a facility operating room, with the resected specimen sent for pathologic examination. The operative report should identify the humeral site, tumor extent, and the resection performed.
Select this code when the operative service is a radical tumor resection at the distal or shaft humerus; a limited bone excision or curettage belongs to a different procedure category. CMS 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 other procedures at 50%. If performed bilaterally with modifier 50, CMS pays 150%. Assistant-at-surgery services may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

24150 billing questions
How does this differ from code 24140?

When would code 24110 be more appropriate?
Code 24110 covers excision or curettage of a humeral bone cyst or benign tumor. Use this code when the documented operation is a radical resection of a tumor in the specified humeral region.
Does the 90-day global include postoperative visits?
It includes related postoperative care for 90 days, as well as the day-before preoperative visit. The operative service is reported with that global period.
Can an assistant surgeon or co-surgeon be reported?
CMS permits payment for an assistant at surgery. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
How is bilateral surgery handled?
For bilateral performance reported with modifier 50, CMS pays 150%. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%.
