Why would a Medicare claim for 77407 be denied or paid less?
These come from CMS indicators on this page, not general billing advice.
- Its status indicator is I (not valid)—Medicare uses a different code to report and pay for this service. See status indicators
- Only a technical component exists for 77407—there is no professional-component amount to bill. See billing policy
- Bilateral surgery: no bilateral adjustment. See billing policy
- Assistant at surgery: restricted without documentation. See billing policy
- Co-surgeons: not permitted. See billing policy
- Team surgery: not permitted. See billing policy
Payer-specific coverage and documentation rules live outside these files, so a claim that clears every check here can still be denied on other grounds.

The global surgery concept does not apply to this code.
Billing policy Copy link
These billing-policy indicators explain how 77407 is treated. They apply whether the code is nationally priced or carrier-priced: a restriction like "bilateral not allowed" still matters on a carrier-priced code.
| Policy | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Bilateral surgery | 0 | No bilateral adjustment. The 150% bilateral payment adjustment does not apply to this procedure. |
| Assistant at surgery | 0 | Restricted without documentation. Payment for an assistant at surgery is restricted for this procedure unless supporting documentation establishes medical necessity. |
| Co-surgeons | 0 | Not permitted. Medicare does not recognize co-surgeons (modifier 62) for this procedure. |
| Team surgery | 0 | Not permitted. Medicare does not recognize a surgical team (modifier 66) for this procedure. |
| Multiple procedures | 0 | No reduction. No multiple-procedure reduction applies when this procedure is billed with others on the same date; each is paid at its full fee schedule amount. |
| Professional/technical split | 3 | Technical component only. Only a technical component exists for this code—there is no corresponding professional-component amount to bill. |

Why a 77407 line may not pay separately Copy link
CMS publishes no separately payable amount for 77407 in this release, so reconciling the line means establishing which status governed the date of service rather than chasing a fee-schedule difference.
What to check
- Confirm the status that governed the date of service before working this line as a short payment—CMS publishes no separately payable fee-schedule amount for it in this release.
- Only a technical-component amount is published for this code, so a professional charge billed on it has no fee-schedule amount behind it.
- Check for documentation on file before appealing an assistant-at-surgery denial: payment on the -80 or -AS line is restricted for this procedure unless medical necessity is established.
- Reprice the line against the release, locality, setting, modifier and participation status that applied to the date of service before treating any difference as an underpayment.

This page uses CMS's Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Q1 2024 release (effective January 2024). National baselines use GPCI 1.000 and exclude sequestration. Whether a national amount exists depends on the status and CMS’s payment instructions; blank RVUs are never treated as zero. Past releases are never edited, so these sources stay valid after CMS publishes a newer one. Our methodology explains sourcing, parsing, versioning, and how we cross-check claims before we publish them.

The citation names the release, so anyone can check it even after CMS publishes a newer one.
