What 25600 covers

This service covers nonoperative care of a distal radius fracture or separation at the growth plate when the provider treats it without manipulating the fracture. Treatment may include immobilization and follow-up by an orthopedic surgeon or another qualified clinician in an office, emergency department, or hospital setting. The code also includes treatment of an associated distal ulna fracture when performed; it is not limited to fractures involving both bones.

Choose this code when the documented treatment does not involve manipulating the fracture. Document the fracture site, the closed treatment plan, and whether manipulation occurred. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during the first 90 days. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. For bilateral treatment reported with modifier 50, CMS pays at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery services are not 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.

25600 billing questions

When should 25600 be reported instead of 25605?

Use 25600 when the distal radius fracture is treated closed without manipulation. Use 25605 when the provider manipulates the fracture as part of closed treatment.

Can this code include treatment of a distal ulna fracture?

Yes. Treatment of an associated distal ulna fracture is included when performed as part of the distal radius fracture treatment.

Is fracture follow-up included in the service?

CMS assigns a 90-day global period, which includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during the first 90 days.

How is bilateral treatment paid?

CMS identifies this as a bilateral procedure. When both sides are treated and reported with modifier 50, payment is 150%.

What distinguishes 25600 from 25606?

25600 describes closed treatment without manipulation. 25606 is for percutaneous skeletal fixation of a distal radius fracture or epiphyseal separation.

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported for this service?

CMS does not pay assistant-at-surgery services for this code, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

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.
