What 27230 covers
An orthopedic surgeon or other physician may report this service when managing a femoral neck fracture without an incision, internal fixation, or manipulation of the fracture. The treatment plan is nonoperative and may include measures such as activity restrictions and follow-up imaging to monitor healing. The code applies to the femoral neck, not a fracture of the femoral shaft or another part of the hip.
Select this code when the documented fracture location and treatment method support closed care without manipulation. The record should identify the femoral neck fracture and describe the physician’s fracture-management plan; a visit that only evaluates the injury does not by itself establish fracture treatment. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including 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 other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. For bilateral treatment, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. CMS does not pay an assistant at surgery; 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.

27230 billing questions
When is 27230 appropriate instead of 27235?
Use 27230 for closed management of a femoral neck fracture without manipulation. Code 27235 describes percutaneous skeletal fixation, a different treatment method.
How does 27230 differ from 27236?
27230 describes closed treatment without manipulation. 27236 is for open treatment of a femoral neck fracture, including internal fixation or prosthetic replacement.
Can 27230 be used for a femoral shaft fracture?
No. It is specific to the femoral neck; 27232 describes closed treatment without manipulation of a femoral shaft fracture.
What documentation supports reporting 27230?
Document the femoral neck fracture, the physician’s nonoperative management plan, and that the fracture was treated without manipulation.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
CMS does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code, and 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.
