What 24125 covers

An orthopedic surgeon removes or curettes a benign cyst or tumor in the radius and fills the resulting defect with autologous bone graft. The procedure is generally performed in an operating room when a lesion requires surgical treatment, such as for symptoms or structural concern. The code distinguishes this service from treatment of a similar lesion without graft or with donor allograft.

Report the code when the treated site is the radius and the surgeon uses the patient's own bone graft; documentation should identify the lesion, its location, the curettage or excision performed, and the graft used. This major surgery has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during that period. When multiple procedures occur in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is 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.

24125 billing questions

When should this code be chosen over 24120?

Use 24125 when the radius lesion is treated with the patient's own bone graft. Code 24120 describes the corresponding radius procedure without a graft.

How does this differ from 24126?

The graft source distinguishes the codes: 24125 involves the patient's own bone, while 24126 involves allograft.

What should the operative note document?

Document the lesion and its location in the radius, the excision or curettage performed, and that autologous bone graft was used.

Can this be reported bilaterally?

For a bilateral procedure, report modifier 50; CMS pays the bilateral service at 150%.

How are other procedures in the same session paid?

Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are paid at 50%. The 90-day global period includes related postoperative care.

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.
