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

What 25400 covers

This operation treats a radius or ulna fracture that has failed to unite or has healed in a position requiring correction. An orthopedic surgeon works on the affected forearm bone to address the nonunion or malalignment and restore stability. The service is typically performed in an operating room, including a hospital outpatient department or inpatient setting, rather than as routine fracture follow-up.

Report this code when the repair involves one bone and is performed without a graft; use the applicable family code when both bones or grafting are involved. The operative report should identify the bone, the nonunion or malunion being treated, and the repair performed. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
