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

What 25332 covers

A hand or orthopedic surgeon reshapes or reconstructs the wrist joint to address substantial joint damage, often from advanced degenerative or post-traumatic arthritis. The procedure may include interposing tissue or other material and may use internal or external fixation. It is performed in an operating room, usually in a hospital or ambulatory surgery setting. The operative report should identify the wrist joint treated and describe the arthroplasty and any interposition or fixation performed.

Choose this code for arthroplasty of the wrist joint, rather than a procedure directed at wrist tendons, bones, or ligament stability. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during that period. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple procedure reduction. For bilateral surgery, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
