About 27067: Hip or pelvic bone lesion curettage with autograft
Reports removal or curettage of a benign bone lesion in the pelvis or hip when the resulting defect is filled with the patient's own bone.
An orthopedic surgeon removes or curettes a bone cyst or benign tumor in the pelvis or hip and uses the patient's own bone to fill the resulting defect. The service is generally performed in an operating room when a lesion requires operative treatment; the code identifies grafting as part of the lesion procedure, rather than simple removal alone.
Select this code when the operative report supports both treatment of the pelvic or hip bone lesion and autograft placement. Document the anatomic site, lesion and extent of removal, and use of the patient's bone graft. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. For other procedures performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and additional procedures at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
