What 25650 covers

This code covers nonoperative care of an ulnar styloid fracture when the provider treats the fracture without manipulating or reducing it. An orthopedic or hand surgeon may provide definitive fracture care in an office or facility; emergency clinicians may stabilize the wrist, but this code represents the provider’s fracture-treatment service. Routine immobilization and fracture-care follow-up are part of the treatment episode.

Report the code when documentation identifies the ulnar styloid fracture and supports treatment without manipulation. Record the affected side, treatment plan, and follow-up responsibility; distinguish the styloid injury from any separately treated distal radius fracture. CMS assigns a 90-day major-surgery global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care through day 90. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. With modifier 50, bilateral treatment is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is statutorily restricted; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
