What 26341 covers

A hand surgeon or other qualified physician manipulates the treated finger and palmar tissue to disrupt a Dupuytren cord after an enzyme injection, such as collagenase. The service is directed at the contracture caused by the injected cord, rather than a stiff finger joint unrelated to enzyme treatment. It is commonly performed in an office or other procedural setting as the follow-up treatment to the injection.

Report this code for one treated digit in a hand; manipulation may address multiple cords in that hand. Documentation should identify the treated hand and digit, the prior enzyme injection, and the manipulation performed. The related postoperative visits are included for 10 days. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, CMS pays the highest-valued procedure in full and the others at 50%. For bilateral treatment, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; 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.

26341 billing questions

How does this differ from 26340?

Use 26341 for manipulation of a palmar Dupuytren cord after enzyme injection. Code 26340 describes manipulation of a finger joint under anesthesia, not post-injection cord disruption.

Is the enzyme injection included?

No. Code 26341 represents the subsequent manipulation; report the injection separately with 20527 when performed and otherwise reportable.

What documentation supports the code?

Document the enzyme-treated Dupuytren cord, the hand and digit treated, and the manipulation performed. Identify multiple cords if they were addressed in the same hand.

How is bilateral treatment handled?

For treatment of both hands, CMS pays modifier 50 at 150%. The service is described per hand, for a single digit, including multiple cords.

How are other procedures in the same session paid?

CMS pays the highest-valued procedure in full and other procedures at 50%. Related postoperative visits are included during the 10-day global period.

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.
