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.

25630 billing questions
How does this differ from 25635?
Use 25630 when the non-scaphoid carpal fracture is treated without manipulation. Use 25635 when the physician manipulates the fracture as part of closed treatment.
Can 25630 be used for a scaphoid fracture?
No. The scaphoid has its own closed-treatment codes: 25622 without manipulation and 25624 with manipulation.
How many units should be reported?
The code is reported for each carpal bone treated. Documentation should identify each treated bone when more than one is involved.
Are routine fracture follow-up visits separately reported?
Related postoperative care during the 90-day global period is included. The global also includes the day-before preoperative visit.
How is bilateral treatment handled?
For bilateral treatment, modifier 50 applies; CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 150%.
Can an assistant surgeon or co-surgeon be billed?
Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted for this code. 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.
