What 25622 covers

An orthopedic or hand surgeon reports this service when treating a carpal scaphoid (navicular) fracture nonoperatively without manipulating the fracture. The treatment commonly includes immobilizing the wrist, often in a thumb-spica cast or splint, and monitoring healing. It may be furnished in an office or a facility after clinical assessment and imaging establish the fracture and the treatment plan.

Select this code when the provider performs closed fracture treatment without a reduction maneuver; document the affected wrist, scaphoid fracture, treatment decision, and immobilization plan. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. In a same-session multiple-procedure claim, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures at 50%. Bilateral treatment with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

How does 25622 differ from 25628?

25622 represents closed treatment without manipulation. Choose 25628 when the scaphoid fracture is treated with open reduction and internal fixation.

Can routine fracture follow-up be billed separately?

Related care during the 90-day global period is included, including routine follow-up for this fracture treatment. A separately identifiable service unrelated to the fracture requires its own support.

What documentation supports reporting 25622?

Document the scaphoid fracture, the affected wrist, the decision for closed treatment, and that treatment did not include manipulation. Include the immobilization and follow-up plan.

How is bilateral treatment handled?

For bilateral treatment reported with modifier 50, CMS pays 150%. Document treatment of both wrists.

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.
