What 11011 covers

This code describes operative debridement at an open fracture or dislocation site, extending through skin and subcutaneous tissue into muscle or fascia, without debridement of bone. The work may include removing contaminated or foreign material from the wound. Orthopedic trauma surgeons commonly perform it during operative care of an open fracture or dislocation in a hospital or other surgical setting.

Choose the code according to the deepest tissue debrided at the fracture site: skin and subcutaneous tissue only points to 11010, while bone debridement points to 11012. The operative report should identify the open injury site, tissues removed, and extent of debridement. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 does not increase payment because CMS prices this code as bilateral. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

11011 billing questions

How does 11011 differ from 11010?

Use 11011 when debridement at the open fracture or dislocation site extends into muscle or fascia. Use 11010 when it is limited to skin and subcutaneous tissue.

When is 11012 the better choice?

Use 11012 when bone is debrided at the open fracture or dislocation site. The deepest tissue actually debrided determines the level.

Can this code be reported with fracture treatment?

The debridement code represents work at the open injury site, while a fracture-treatment code represents stabilization or repair. The operative note should support the debridement and the tissue depth reported.

Should modifier 50 be appended for bilateral sites?

CMS prices 11011 as bilateral, and modifier 50 does not increase payment.

What documentation supports 11011 rather than a shallower level?

Document the open fracture or dislocation site and the tissues actually debrided, including extension into muscle or fascia. Bone debridement supports consideration of 11012 instead.

How does CMS handle other procedures performed in the same session?

The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures in the same session are subject to the standard multiple procedure reduction. Same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included in this code's 0-day global period.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
