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.
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.

24600 billing questions
When should 24600 be chosen over 24605?
Use 24600 for closed elbow dislocation treatment performed without anesthesia. Choose 24605 when anesthesia is required for the reduction.
What documentation supports reporting this code?
Document the elbow dislocation, the side treated, and the closed reduction performed without anesthesia. The record should make clear that treatment was for the dislocation rather than a fracture-dislocation or radial head subluxation.
How is bilateral treatment reported?
For treatment of both elbows, report modifier 50; CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 150%.
Is routine follow-up included?
Yes. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be billed?
Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
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.
