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

What 27513 covers

An orthopedic surgeon uses this service to repair a supracondylar or transcondylar fracture at the lower end of the femur. The fracture may extend between the condyles into the knee joint. The operation involves open reduction; internal fixation is included when performed. These repairs are typically done in an operating room, often for displaced distal femur fractures that need operative stabilization.

Select the code based on the documented fracture pattern and operative treatment, distinguishing it from a fracture confined to a medial or lateral condyle or from a shaft fracture. The operative report should identify the distal femoral fracture pattern and describe the open repair and fixation performed. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in one 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 and co-surgeons are permitted; team surgery is not permitted.
