Urologic surgery
About 54112: Penile plaque excision with graft
Reports surgical treatment of Peyronie’s penile plaque when excision and graft reconstruction are required to address deformity.
A urologist typically performs this operation for Peyronie’s disease when a penile plaque causes deformity and treatment requires plaque excision with graft reconstruction. The service involves operative correction of the affected penile tissue, rather than a biopsy or removal of a superficial lesion such as a wart. It is generally performed in an operating room, with the operative report identifying the plaque, the reconstruction performed, and the graft used.
Report the code when the documented procedure meets the code’s graft-requiring plaque-treatment criteria. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during the following 90 days. 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. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this service. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

54112 billing questions
When is this code used instead of a code for penile lesion excision?
Use this code for Peyronie’s plaque surgery that requires graft reconstruction. Codes for penile lesion treatment address lesions such as condyloma rather than plaque-related deformity.
What documentation supports reporting this code?
The operative report should identify the Peyronie’s plaque, describe its excision and the graft reconstruction, and establish why the procedure required grafting.
Can modifier 50 be reported?
No. The CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply to this service, and modifier 50 is inappropriate.
How are other procedures performed in the same session paid?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures in the same session are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
An assistant at surgery may be paid. Co-surgeons are paid only when supporting documentation is provided; team surgery is not permitted.
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.
