About 41150: Composite tongue, floor-of-mouth, and mandible resection
Reports a composite operation removing involved tongue, floor-of-mouth tissue, and mandible, without radical neck dissection, commonly for extensive oral cavity cancer.
This code describes a composite oral cavity resection that removes involved tongue tissue together with the floor of the mouth and part of the mandible. Head and neck surgeons, including otolaryngologists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons, commonly perform it for extensive cancers involving these connected structures. The operative report should establish the extent and combination of tissue removed; an isolated tongue resection or a lesion excision does not represent this composite procedure.
Report 41150 when the documented operation includes the tongue, floor of mouth, and mandible and is performed without radical neck dissection. The operative note should identify the resected structures and clarify the neck procedure, if any; radical neck dissection changes the applicable composite code. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during that period. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

41150 billing questions
When is 41150 appropriate instead of a tongue-only resection code?
Use 41150 for the composite removal involving tongue, floor of mouth, and mandible. A tongue-only resection does not meet that extent.
Does 41150 include radical neck dissection?
No. This code represents the composite resection without radical neck dissection; use the applicable composite code when radical neck dissection is performed.
Can modifier 50 be reported for this procedure?
No. The CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply, and modifier 50 is inappropriate for this procedure.
What documentation supports reporting 41150?
The operative report should identify the tongue, floor-of-mouth, and mandibular resection, and describe whether a radical neck dissection was performed.
How does the 90-day global period affect postoperative billing?
The day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care for 90 days are included in the global period.
May an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
