What 25111 covers

This procedure removes a ganglion arising at the wrist, commonly from the joint capsule or a tendon sheath. The surgeon exposes the cyst, removes it and addresses its attachment as part of the operation. Orthopedic and hand surgeons typically perform the procedure in an operating room or ambulatory surgery setting. A dorsal or volar wrist ganglion is the characteristic clinical target; this code identifies a primary excision rather than removal of a recurrent ganglion.

Report 25111 when the operative record supports a wrist ganglion and documents that it is not recurrent. Include the wrist side, location, diagnosis, and operative findings. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in one 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 services are not paid, and co-surgeon and team-surgery reporting are not permitted.
