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

What 27760 covers

This code covers definitive closed treatment of a fracture of the medial malleolus, the bony prominence on the inner side of the ankle, when the physician does not manipulate the fracture. An orthopedist or another physician managing the fracture may use it when the fracture can be treated without a reduction maneuver, with immobilization such as a cast or splint as clinically appropriate. It represents fracture care rather than only an initial evaluation or temporary stabilization before transfer of care.

Choose this code when the record identifies the medial malleolus fracture and supports treatment without manipulation; document the injury, treatment plan, and immobilization. The 90-day global period includes 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 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.
