Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 25830 covers

This procedure fuses the distal radioulnar joint and removes a segment of the ulna, creating a proximal space that permits forearm rotation while stabilizing the joint. It is commonly used for painful distal radioulnar joint arthritis or dysfunction, including problems following trauma. An orthopedic or hand surgeon typically performs the operation in a hospital or ambulatory surgery center. The procedure is also known as the Sauvé-Kapandji operation.

Report the code when the operative record supports both distal radioulnar joint fusion and segmental ulnar resection; it is distinct from fusion of the wrist joint itself. Documentation should identify the treated joint, the reason for surgery, and the fusion and resection performed. The 90-day global period 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 others at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeons are paid only with supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
