Dermatology procedure
About 14060: Adjacent tissue transfer for facial defects
Reports local tissue rearrangement to repair a defect of 10 cm² or less on an eyelid, nose, ear, or lip after excision or injury.
A surgeon moves and reshapes nearby skin or tissue to close a defect on an eyelid, nose, ear, or lip. This local flap repair is used when a simple closure would not adequately repair the defect or preserve contour. Dermatologic, plastic, facial plastic, otolaryngologic, and oculoplastic surgeons commonly perform it after tumor removal or to repair traumatic defects, in office procedure rooms or operating rooms.
Select the code by the qualifying anatomic site and the documented defect area. Record the primary defect and any secondary defect created by the tissue transfer; their combined area determines the size level. The tissue transfer includes the work needed to prepare and close that defect, so do not separately report an excision for the same defect by the same surgeon. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. In a same-session multiple-procedure situation, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate; Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

14060 billing questions
How does 14060 differ from 14061?
Both cover adjacent tissue transfer on an eyelid, nose, ear, or lip. Choose 14060 for a defect up to 10 cm² and 14061 for a defect measuring 10.1–30 cm².
Can the lesion excision be billed separately?
Do not separately report excision for the same defect when the same surgeon performs the adjacent tissue transfer. The transfer service includes the work needed to prepare and close that defect.
What documentation supports 14060?
Document the repaired site, the reason a local flap was used, and the dimensions of the primary and secondary defects. The documented combined area must be 10 cm² or less.
Is modifier 50 appropriate for defects on both sides?
No. The CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply to this code; modifier 50 is inappropriate.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
