Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 24600 covers

This code describes closed treatment of an elbow dislocation by restoring the joint alignment without anesthesia. Emergency physicians and orthopedic clinicians may perform the reduction in an emergency department, clinic, or office. It is distinct from treatment of a fracture-dislocation or a radial head subluxation, which has its own code selection.

Report the code when the documented treatment is a closed reduction without anesthesia; use the anesthesia-requiring sibling when anesthesia is used. The record should identify the elbow and dislocation, describe the reduction, and support the treatment performed. Medicare includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care in the global period. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued is paid in full and others at 50%. For bilateral treatment reported with modifier 50, payment is 150%. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
