About 54115: Penile plaque excision with graft harvest
Surgical excision of a Peyronie’s plaque with graft reconstruction and graft harvesting, reported when the operative repair includes harvesting tissue for the graft.
This operation treats Peyronie’s disease by removing a penile plaque and reconstructing the resulting defect with graft tissue harvested during the procedure. A urologist typically performs the surgery in an operating room when the operative plan calls for plaque excision and graft repair rather than a diagnostic biopsy or plaque excision without grafting.
Select the code from the documented operative work, including plaque excision, graft reconstruction, and graft harvesting. The operative report should identify the plaque treatment, graft use, and harvest. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction. Do not use modifier 50; CMS permits assistant-at-surgery payment but not co-surgeon or team-surgery billing.

54115 billing questions
How does this differ from 54110?
54115 includes graft reconstruction with graft harvesting as part of the plaque operation. 54110 is for plaque excision without grafting.
Is graft harvesting separately reported?
Graft harvesting is included in 54115. The operative report should support that graft tissue was harvested and used in the reconstruction.
Can modifier 50 be used for bilateral disease?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code, so modifier 50 is not used.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
CMS allows payment for an assistant at surgery. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted for this code.
When is a biopsy code more appropriate?
Use a penile biopsy code when the service is tissue sampling for diagnosis rather than plaque excision with graft reconstruction.
