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

What 26340 covers

This service involves manually moving a restricted finger joint while the patient is under anesthesia, with the goal of improving its range of motion. Hand surgeons and orthopedic surgeons commonly perform it for persistent stiffness after an injury or prior procedure, in an operating room or other procedural setting. It is directed at joint stiffness, rather than repair of a tendon or reduction of an acute dislocation. A palmar fascial cord treated after injection is a different service.

Report the service for each joint manipulated, and document the affected finger and joint, the reason motion is restricted, the procedure performed, and the resulting motion. The code has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures at 50%. For a bilateral procedure reported with modifier 50, CMS pays 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is statutorily restricted; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
