About 27077: Hip tumor resection involving innominate bone
Extensive pelvic tumor resection involving the innominate bone, reported when operative removal encompasses this bone rather than a more limited hip or pelvic lesion.
This code describes extensive surgery to remove a tumor involving the innominate bone of the pelvis. It is typically performed by an orthopedic oncologist or another surgeon experienced in pelvic tumor surgery, often in a hospital operating room. The operative approach and amount of bone removed depend on the tumor’s location and extent; this is distinct from a limited bone-lesion excision or a resection specifically involving the acetabulum or femur.
Select the code from the structures actually resected, not imaging findings alone or the tumor’s size by itself. The operative report should identify the tumor site, the innominate bone resected, and the extent of the procedure. 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 one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

27077 billing questions
How does this differ from code 27076?
Choose based on the resection performed and the anatomic structures involved. Code 27076 identifies a pelvic tumor resection that includes the acetabulum; this code identifies involvement of the innominate bone.
What documentation supports reporting this code?
The operative report should describe the tumor location, the innominate bone removed, and the extent of resection. Document the actual procedure rather than relying only on preoperative imaging or a diagnosis of pelvic tumor.
Can modifier 50 be used for bilateral surgery?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code.
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.
What postoperative care is included in the global period?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
How are other procedures performed in the same session paid?
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.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
