What 27750 covers

This service covers closed management of a tibial shaft fracture when the clinician does not manipulate the fracture to restore alignment. It may include immobilization, such as a cast or splint, and ongoing fracture care. Orthopedic surgeons and other qualified clinicians typically provide this care in an office, emergency department, or hospital setting. The fracture may involve the tibial shaft alone or occur with a fibular fracture.

Select this code when the documented treatment is closed and does not include manipulation; use a different fracture-treatment code when the method or reduction differs. The record should identify the fracture, treatment approach, and relevant follow-up care. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. For bilateral treatment, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

Can an associated fibular fracture be present?

Yes. The tibial shaft treatment code allows for an associated fibular fracture; the tibial fracture treatment method determines the code.

Is this code appropriate when fixation is performed?

What documentation supports reporting 27750?

Document the tibial shaft fracture and that it was managed closed without manipulation. Include the treatment plan and related fracture-care follow-up.

Can an assistant surgeon or co-surgeon be reported?

Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service. 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.
