What 25607 covers
CPT 25607 represents operative treatment of a distal radius fracture that is extra-articular, or an epiphyseal separation, through an open approach. The surgeon exposes the fracture, restores alignment, and may stabilize it with internal fixation, such as a plate and screws. Orthopedic and hand surgeons commonly perform this procedure in an operating room for injuries requiring direct surgical reduction. The defining distinction is that the fracture does not extend into the joint surface.
Select the code based on the fracture’s extra-articular status, not the number of fragments; intra-articular fractures are coded by fragment count. The operative report should identify the fracture pattern, its extra-articular or epiphyseal status, the open approach, and any fixation performed. Medicare includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care in the 90-day global period. In a same-session multiple-procedure claim, 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 services may be paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

25607 billing questions
How does 25607 differ from 25608 and 25609?
Use 25607 for an extra-articular distal radius fracture or epiphyseal separation. For an intra-articular fracture, 25608 describes two fragments and 25609 describes three or more.
Can internal fixation be reported separately?
Internal fixation, such as plate-and-screw stabilization, is included in the open treatment when performed. Do not separately report the fixation as a separate fracture-treatment service.
When is 25606 a better choice?
25606 describes percutaneous skeletal fixation of a distal radius fracture. Use 25607 when the fracture is treated through an open approach.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
How is bilateral treatment reported?
For bilateral procedures, report modifier 50; CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 150%.
May an assistant or co-surgeon be billed?
Assistant-at-surgery services may be paid. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted for this code.
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.
