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

What 25393 covers

This procedure surgically lengthens both bones of the forearm. An orthopedic or hand surgeon may perform it to address a forearm that is shortened or has a length discrepancy involving both the radius and ulna, such as after a growth disturbance or injury. The operation is generally performed in a hospital operating room, with the operative plan directed at correcting the length of both bones.

Report this code when the operative documentation supports lengthening both the radius and ulna; lengthening only one bone points to a different code in the family. Document the indication, side, and work performed on each bone. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For same-session procedures, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% multiple procedure reduction. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
