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

What 25107 covers

An orthopedic or hand surgeon opens the wrist joint and removes articular cartilage directly from the joint surfaces. The operative target is cartilage within the wrist joint, not the synovial lining, a tendon or tendon sheath, or a separate bone or soft-tissue lesion. The operative report should identify the joint entered and document the cartilage excision; opening the joint for inspection alone does not establish this service.

Select this code when the documented work includes excision of wrist-joint articular cartilage, distinguishing it from wrist arthrotomy for biopsy, exploration, or synovectomy. The 90-day global period 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 other procedures at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
