What 25112 covers

Code 25112 represents operative removal of a recurrent lesion arising from a tendon sheath or capsule in the forearm and/or wrist, commonly a ganglion that has returned after prior treatment. The surgeon exposes the involved structure and excises the lesion. Hand and orthopedic surgeons typically perform this procedure in an operating room or ambulatory surgery setting; the lesion’s location and operative history guide the approach.

Report 25112 when the record identifies the lesion’s forearm or wrist location, its tendon-sheath or capsular origin, and its recurrent status. Document relevant prior treatment, operative findings, and the work performed; distinguish a recurrent lesion from a deep lesion reported with 25111. The code has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care for 90 days. When multiple procedures occur in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery, co-surgeons, or team surgery for this service.
