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

What 25415 covers

An orthopedic surgeon uses this code for operative correction of an established nonunion or malunion involving both the radius and ulna in one forearm. The procedure may address failed healing or a healed deformity after fracture, with repair directed at restoring alignment and stability. These cases are typically performed in an operating room rather than an office setting.

Choose this code when the operative report supports repair of both bones, not just one; a graft-specific sibling may be appropriate when grafting is performed. Document the affected bones, the nonunion or malunion, and the repair performed. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
