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.
