What 11012 covers

An orthopedic or trauma surgeon uses this service to remove contaminated or devitalized tissue, including bone, at the site of an open fracture or dislocation. It may be performed in the operating room during acute injury care. The defining feature is debridement through bone at that injury site; the code also encompasses the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and muscle or fascia addressed in the procedure.

Choose this level from the deepest tissue debrided at the open fracture or dislocation site, and document the injury site, tissues removed, and operative findings supporting bone debridement. This code has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. CMS prices the code as bilateral; modifier 50 does not increase payment. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
