What 23530 covers

This service involves open surgery to treat a dislocation where the medial clavicle meets the sternum. Orthopedic or trauma surgeons may perform it for an acute injury or persistent, chronic displacement when operative treatment is chosen. The operative report should establish the sternoclavicular site and describe the open treatment performed; this code represents the option without graft use.

Report 23532 instead when the open sternoclavicular dislocation treatment includes a graft. The code has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to a 50% reduction. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery services may be paid; co-surgeon and team-surgery billing are not permitted.
