What 25370 covers

This operation changes the alignment of the radius or ulna to correct a bony deformity. An orthopedic or hand surgeon typically performs it in an operating room, using the operative approach and stabilization appropriate to the patient’s anatomy and surgical plan. The code is for correction involving one of the two forearm bones, rather than both bones together.

The operative report should identify the bone and side treated, the deformity or other indication, and the corrective work performed. Choose a different code when the procedure addresses both the radius and ulna or has a specifically described goal such as shortening. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during that period. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Bilateral reporting with 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.

25370 billing questions

How do I distinguish this code from a code for both forearm bones?

This code covers corrective work on the radius or the ulna. When the operative work corrects both bones, consider the code for the radius and ulna together.

What documentation supports reporting this code?

The operative report should identify the bone and side, describe the deformity or indication, and document the corrective procedure performed.

How is bilateral surgery reported?

For bilateral procedures, modifier 50 is paid at 150%.

How does the multiple procedure rule affect payment?

When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others are paid at 50%.

Can an assistant surgeon be reported?

CMS indicates that an assistant at surgery may be paid for this procedure. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

What postoperative care is included?

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.
