What 27762 covers

This service covers closed management of a fracture of the medial malleolus, the inner portion of the ankle. The clinician manipulates the fracture to improve alignment and stabilizes the ankle, commonly with a cast or splint. An orthopedic surgeon typically provides the fracture treatment in a surgical or procedure setting; the defining feature is manipulation without open exposure of the fracture site.

Report this code when the documentation supports a medial malleolus fracture and closed manipulation, rather than treatment without manipulation. The 90-day global period includes 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 other procedures at 50%. When performed bilaterally with modifier 50, payment is 150%. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service; 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.

27762 billing questions

How does this differ from 27760?

Use 27762 when the clinician manipulates the medial malleolus fracture to improve alignment. Code 27760 describes closed treatment of that fracture without manipulation.

What documentation supports reporting 27762?

Document the medial malleolus fracture and the closed manipulation performed to restore alignment. The record should distinguish this treatment from care without manipulation or open treatment.

Is the cast or splint separately reported?

The cast or splint is part of stabilizing the fracture treated under this service. Do not treat the immobilization alone as a separate fracture-treatment service.

How is bilateral treatment handled?

For bilateral procedures reported with modifier 50, CMS payment is 150%. The documentation should support treatment of a medial malleolus fracture on each side.

Can an assistant, co-surgeon, or surgical team be reported?

Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for 27762. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

What happens when another procedure is performed in the same session?

Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the other procedure or procedures are paid at 50%.

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.
