What 25635 covers

An orthopedist, hand surgeon, or other qualified treating clinician reports this service when a carpal fracture other than a scaphoid fracture is treated without surgical exposure and requires manipulation to restore alignment. Examples of eligible bones include the triquetrum, lunate, capitate, hamate, trapezium, trapezoid, and pisiform. Treatment may occur in an emergency department, clinic, or other setting where the clinician provides fracture care.

Select the code for each bone treated and document the fracture site, laterality, closed approach, and the manipulation performed. A fracture treated without manipulation is reported with 25630; scaphoid fractures belong to their own code family. The 90-day global includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; 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.

25635 billing questions

How does this differ from 25630?

Use 25635 when closed treatment includes manipulation to realign the fracture. Code 25630 is for closed treatment without manipulation.

Can this code be used for a scaphoid fracture?

No. Scaphoid fractures are reported from the scaphoid-specific family, such as 25622 or 25624, depending on whether manipulation is performed.

How many units should be reported?

The code is reported for each carpal bone treated. Document the bone and the manipulation for each treated fracture.

What does the 90-day global include?

It includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.

How is bilateral treatment reported?

When the service is performed bilaterally, modifier 50 applies; CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 150%.

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?

Assistant-at-surgery payment is available only with documentation of medical necessity. 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.
