What 26775 covers
This service is a closed reduction of a dislocated interphalangeal joint in a finger. The clinician manipulates the joint back into alignment without an open incision; the distinguishing feature is that anesthesia is required for the reduction. Orthopedic and hand surgeons may perform it, including in an emergency department or an operating room. A dislocated proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint is a typical clinical situation when closed manipulation under anesthesia is needed.
Select the code based on the involved joint and the treatment performed: it is for an interphalangeal joint treated by closed manipulation requiring anesthesia, not a metacarpophalangeal joint or a dislocation treated with pin fixation or open surgery. Documentation should identify the joint, the dislocation, the closed reduction and manipulation, and the anesthesia requirement. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate; assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

26775 billing questions
How does this differ from 26770?
Both address closed reduction of a finger interphalangeal joint dislocation. Use 26775 when the reduction requires anesthesia; 26770 is the option for treatment without anesthesia.
Can this be reported for a knuckle dislocation?
No. This code is for an interphalangeal joint, such as a PIP joint. A metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint dislocation is represented by a different code, such as 26705 when anesthesia is required.
When is 26776 a better fit?
Use 26776 when the dislocated interphalangeal joint is treated with percutaneous skeletal fixation. This code describes closed manipulation requiring anesthesia without that pin fixation approach.
What documentation supports reporting 26775?
Record the affected interphalangeal joint, the dislocation, the closed manipulation and reduction performed, and why anesthesia was required. The record should distinguish the procedure from open treatment or percutaneous fixation.
What postoperative care is included?
Medicare assigns a 90-day global period that includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be billed?
Medicare payment for an assistant at surgery is restricted for this code. 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.
