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

What 24650 covers

This service covers closed treatment of a fracture at the radial head or neck near the elbow when the clinician accepts the bone’s position without manipulation. An orthopedist or other treating clinician may provide this care in an office or facility setting, often using a sling or other support and arranging follow-up. A stable radial head fracture is a typical example. The distinction is whether the clinician takes responsibility for definitive fracture treatment, rather than providing temporary support before referral.

Report one service for the treated fracture and document the fracture location, the decision not to manipulate it, and the treatment plan. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period that includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. Bilateral treatment reported with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
