What 27767 covers

This code represents nonoperative care of a fracture at the posterior part of the distal tibia, where it forms the ankle joint. An orthopedic surgeon or other qualified practitioner may provide this care in an office, emergency department, or hospital when the treatment plan is closed management rather than operative fixation. The key distinction is that the provider does not manipulate the fracture to achieve or restore alignment.

The record should identify the posterior malleolus fracture, document the closed treatment plan, and support that no manipulation was performed. Code 27768 is the corresponding choice when manipulation is performed; open fixation is represented by a different code. CMS 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 is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. For bilateral reporting with modifier 50, CMS pays 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.

27767 billing questions

How is this distinguished from 27768?

Use 27767 when the posterior malleolus fracture is treated without manipulation. Use 27768 when the provider manipulates the fracture as part of closed treatment.

When is 27769 more appropriate?

Use 27769 when the posterior malleolus fracture is treated operatively with open fixation, rather than by closed fracture care.

Does the 90-day global include related follow-up care?

How should bilateral treatment be reported?

For bilateral treatment, report modifier 50; CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 150%.

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.
