What 25350 covers
This service involves cutting and repositioning the distal third of the radius to correct a bony deformity. An orthopedic or hand surgeon may perform it when altered alignment, including after a fracture has healed in a malunited position, causes symptoms or functional problems. It is commonly performed in a hospital or ambulatory surgery setting.
Select this code when the operative work addresses the distal third of the radius; the segment treated distinguishes it from the radius osteotomy for a more proximal segment. The operative report should identify the bone and level, describe the deformity and corrective work, and support the medical need for surgery. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including 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 others at 50%. For bilateral procedures, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

25350 billing questions
How does this differ from 25355?
This code is for osteotomy of the distal third of the radius. Code 25355 is used when the treated radius segment is middle or proximal.
When is 25365 a better fit?
Use 25365 when the corrective osteotomy involves both the radius and ulna. This code describes work on the distal radius alone.
Does the 90-day global include postoperative visits?
Yes. The CMS global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
Can modifier 50 be reported for bilateral surgery?
CMS identifies this as a bilateral procedure; modifier 50 is paid at 150% when the procedure is performed bilaterally.
May an assistant-at-surgery be paid?
CMS indicates that assistant-at-surgery payment may be made. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
