What 25630 covers

This service covers closed treatment of a fractured carpal bone other than the scaphoid, without manipulation of the fracture. A hand or orthopedic surgeon commonly provides it for injuries such as a triquetral or hamate fracture, using immobilization and clinical follow-up rather than operative fixation. Treatment may occur in an office, emergency department, or facility setting. The code is reported for each carpal bone treated.

Choose this code when documentation identifies a non-scaphoid carpal fracture and supports treatment without manipulation. Record the injured bone, the treatment plan, and the fracture care provided; use the manipulation code when the physician manipulates the fracture, and the scaphoid-specific code for a scaphoid fracture. The 90-day global includes 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 other procedures at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; 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.

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.
