Plastic Surgery CPT Codes in the ASC Setting
Plastic surgery is a high-volume specialty in ambulatory surgery centers. Many reconstructive and skin procedures are short, scheduled, and outpatient, which makes them a natural fit for the ASC setting.
Most ASC plastic surgery work falls in the integumentary CPT family, roughly the 11000 to 19499 range, covering debridement, grafts, flaps, repairs, and breast procedures. Our dataset maps 405 ASC-relevant codes to this specialty. Examples include 19318 (breast reduction) and 11042 (subcutaneous tissue debridement, first 20 sq cm or less). Whether a specific code suits the ASC setting depends on its ASC-eligibility status, worth confirming before scheduling. DataLily AI's procedure library tracks CPT-specific prior-authorization and documentation requirements for these codes.

Are plastic surgery procedures performed in an ASC?
Yes. Many reconstructive and skin procedures are short and scheduled and do not require an overnight stay, which makes them well suited to the ambulatory surgery center setting. Whether a specific code suits the ASC setting depends on its ASC-eligibility status, worth confirming before scheduling. Some codes are ASC-eligible and can be performed in a certified ambulatory surgery center, while others are typically done in a hospital outpatient department or office instead. Always confirm the status of the exact code before scheduling.
What CPT codes does plastic surgery use?
Most ASC-relevant plastic surgery work falls in the integumentary family, roughly CPT 11000 to 19499. This range includes debridement, skin grafts and flaps, wound repairs, and breast procedures. Examples are 19318 for breast reduction, 15734 for a muscle and skin flap on the trunk, and 11042 for subcutaneous tissue debridement. Our dataset maps 405 ASC-relevant codes to this specialty.
What place of service applies to plastic surgery in an ASC?
Place of service 24 applies when the procedure is performed in a freestanding ambulatory surgery center. Place of service 11 applies when the work is done in an office-based setting. The place of service reported should match where the service was actually delivered, and it interacts with the code's ASC coverage status and the medical-necessity documentation on file.
