What 25365 covers

This procedure corrects alignment or deformity by cutting and repositioning both the radius and ulna. An orthopedic or hand surgeon may perform it for a forearm malunion or another acquired or developmental deformity affecting both bones. It is an operative bone procedure, typically performed in a hospital or ambulatory surgery setting; fixation may be used to maintain the corrected position.

Report this code when the operative documentation supports osteotomy of both bones, not just one. The record should identify the treated side, the deformity or malalignment, and the correction performed. 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 are subject to the standard 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.

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.

25365 billing questions

When should I report this instead of a single-bone osteotomy?

Report this code when the surgeon osteotomizes both the radius and ulna. If only one bone is treated, consider the code for that specific bone and procedure.

Is this the right code for shortening or lengthening both bones?

Use this code for corrective osteotomy of both bones when the documented procedure is not specifically a shortening or lengthening service. Compare the dedicated paired-bone shortening and lengthening codes when that is the planned correction.

What documentation supports reporting this code?

Document the treated side, the deformity or malalignment, that both the radius and ulna were osteotomized, and how the bones were repositioned.

How does the bilateral payment rule work?

For bilateral surgery, report modifier 50; CMS pays this procedure at 150%.

Can an assistant surgeon be reported?

An assistant at surgery may be paid for this procedure. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

Are related postoperative visits included?

Yes. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.

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.
