About 41806: Foreign-body removal from jawbone
Removal of a retained object embedded in maxillary or mandibular bone, reported when treatment targets the jawbone rather than adjacent gum tissue.
This service removes a retained object embedded in the upper or lower jawbone. An oral and maxillofacial surgeon or another qualified clinician may perform it in an office or facility setting, depending on the object’s location and the access required. The defining feature is that the object is in bone, not merely in the gum or another soft-tissue area of the mouth.
Report the code when the operative record supports removal from jawbone. Document the object, its precise location, the procedure performed, and findings that establish the bony site. Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included. If multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
