What 27075 covers
An orthopedic surgeon, often an orthopedic oncologist, reports this service for operative removal of a tumor in the pelvis or hip area. The procedure involves surgically exposing the involved region and removing the tumor according to its location and extent. It is generally performed in a hospital or other surgical facility. The operative report should identify the tumor site and the structures resected so the service can be distinguished from removal of a limited bone lesion or a soft-tissue tumor procedure.
Choose this code by the operation performed and the anatomy involved, not solely by the tumor diagnosis. Document the tumor’s location, the resection performed, and any involvement of the acetabulum, innominate bone, or femur; those details help distinguish this code from the separately categorized resections in the same family. 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 one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

How to choose
- 27059Tumor resection
- This code is for a pelvic or hip tumor resection category; 27059 describes soft-tissue tumor resection. The operative report must support the tissue and procedure coded.
- 27076Hip tumor resection
- 27076 identifies a pelvic and hip tumor resection involving the acetabulum. Use this code when the documented operation fits the 27075 category instead.
- 27077Hip tumor resection
- 27077 identifies a pelvic and hip tumor resection involving the innominate bone. The documented structures and extent of resection distinguish it from 27075.
- 27078Hip tumor resection
- 27078 identifies a pelvic and hip tumor resection involving the femur. Select between the codes using the anatomy and operation recorded in the operative report.
27075 billing questions
How is this code distinguished from 27059?
27059 describes resection of a soft-tissue tumor in the pelvis or hip area. Select the code that matches the tissue and operation documented, rather than treating the codes as interchangeable tumor-size levels.
When should a code in the 27076–27078 range be considered?
Those codes identify resections involving specified structures such as the acetabulum, innominate bone, or femur. Use the operative report’s description of the resection to determine which category fits.
Is modifier 50 appropriate for bilateral resection?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code.
Can an assistant surgeon or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available. Co-surgeons are paid only when supporting documentation is provided; team surgery is not permitted.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
How does the multiple-procedure reduction affect this service?
For procedures performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction.
