What 27752 covers

An orthopedic surgeon or other qualified fracture-care provider reports this service when treating a tibial shaft fracture without opening the fracture site and manipulating the fragments to improve alignment. The treatment may include external immobilization, such as a cast or splint. The code includes tibial shaft fractures with or without an associated fibular fracture; it is not for a fracture limited to the ankle or fibula.

Choose this code when the record supports both closed treatment and manipulation, rather than closed treatment without manipulation or operative fixation. Document the shaft fracture, the reduction maneuver and resulting alignment, and the immobilization and treatment plan. 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 one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. Bilateral treatment with 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.

27752 billing questions

How does this differ from 27750?

Both describe closed treatment of a tibial shaft fracture, but 27752 is selected when manipulation is performed to improve fracture alignment. Use 27750 when the closed treatment does not involve manipulation.

Can the code be used when the fibula is also fractured?

Yes. Tibial shaft treatment may include an associated fibular fracture; the fibular fracture does not by itself change the code selection.

When is 27756 used instead?

27756 is for percutaneous skeletal fixation of a tibial shaft fracture. This code describes closed treatment with manipulation, not percutaneous fixation.

What documentation supports reporting 27752?

Document the tibial shaft fracture, the manipulation or reduction performed, the alignment achieved, and the immobilization and treatment plan.

How is bilateral treatment handled?

For bilateral procedures reported with modifier 50, CMS pays at 150%. The multiple-procedure rule also applies when multiple procedures are performed in the same session.

Are assistant surgeons or co-surgeons payable?

CMS applies a statutory restriction to assistant-at-surgery payment 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.
