What 27825 covers

Code 27825 covers closed reduction of a distal tibial fracture, such as a pilon or tibial plafond fracture, when the clinician manipulates the fragments to restore alignment. An orthopedic surgeon or other physician providing fracture care typically performs the reduction in an emergency department, operating room, or other acute-care setting; the fracture is stabilized afterward without opening the fracture site.

Select this code for the documented distal tibia injury and manipulation, rather than closed treatment without manipulation or open repair. The record should identify the fracture location, laterality, reduction performed, and stabilization plan. CMS assigns a 90-day major-surgery global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For same-session procedures, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%; bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; 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.

27825 billing questions

How does 27825 differ from 27824?

27825 is for closed treatment of a distal tibial fracture with manipulation. Use 27824 when the closed treatment is performed without manipulation.

What documentation supports 27825?

Document the distal tibial fracture site and laterality, the manipulation or reduction performed, and the stabilization plan. The record should support that treatment was closed rather than an open repair.

How is the global period handled?

CMS assigns a 90-day major-surgery global period. It includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.

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

CMS pays the highest-valued procedure in full and other procedures at 50%. For bilateral reporting with modifier 50, CMS pays 150%.

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?

Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documentation of medical necessity. CMS does not permit co-surgeons or team surgery for this code.

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.
