What 27062 covers
An orthopedic surgeon may excise the trochanteric bursa or remove a calcification involving the femur when operative treatment is performed. The service is associated with the lateral hip and greater trochanter; it is distinct from removing the ischial bursa or excising a separately classified bone tumor. It is generally performed in an operating-room setting, including hospital outpatient or inpatient surgery.
Report the code when the operative work matches the trochanteric bursa or femoral calcification service, and document the target, site, laterality, and work performed. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. In a same-session multiple-procedure claim, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is subject to a statutory restriction and is not paid; co-surgeons are paid only with supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

27062 billing questions
How does this differ from removal of the ischial bursa?
This code is for the trochanteric bursa or a femoral calcification. The ischial bursa is a different anatomic site and is reported with 27060.
Should this code be used for a femoral bone tumor?
Use a bone-lesion code when the operation treats a bone cyst or benign tumor rather than the trochanteric bursa or a femoral calcification. The operative report should identify the target and the work performed.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
How is bilateral surgery handled?
When the service is performed bilaterally and reported with modifier 50, Medicare pays 150%.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment is barred by statutory restriction. Co-surgeons are paid only when supporting documentation is provided; team surgery is not permitted.
