Orthopedic treatment

About 24600: Closed elbow dislocation reduction without anesthesia

Closed reduction of an elbow dislocation performed without anesthesia, typically in an emergency department or office when the joint is restored without an open procedure.

This code describes closed treatment of an elbow dislocation by restoring the joint alignment without anesthesia. Emergency physicians and orthopedic clinicians may perform the reduction in an emergency department, clinic, or office. It is distinct from treatment of a fracture-dislocation or a radial head subluxation, which has its own code selection.

Report the code when the documented treatment is a closed reduction without anesthesia; use the anesthesia-requiring sibling when anesthesia is used. The record should identify the elbow and dislocation, describe the reduction, and support the treatment performed. Medicare includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care in the global period. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued is paid in full and others at 50%. For bilateral treatment reported with modifier 50, payment is 150%. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

24600 compared with similar codes

Office rates for Austin, from the same CMS release.

24605

Elbow reduction

With anesthesia

No office rate

Both codes describe closed treatment of an elbow dislocation. The key distinction is whether anesthesia is required for the reduction.

24615

Elbow dislocation

Open treatment

No office rate

24615 is for open treatment of an elbow dislocation. Use 24600 when the dislocation is reduced by a closed approach without anesthesia.

24620

Monteggia treatment

Closed, without manipulation

No office rate

24620 addresses a Monteggia fracture-dislocation, which includes an associated proximal ulna fracture; 24600 is for an elbow dislocation without that fracture pattern.

24640

Nursemaid's elbow

Radial head subluxation

$107.57

24640 is for radial head subluxation, often seen in young children. It is not the code for a true elbow dislocation treated under 24600.

24600 billing questions

When should 24600 be chosen over 24605?

Use 24600 for closed elbow dislocation treatment performed without anesthesia. Choose 24605 when anesthesia is required for the reduction.

What documentation supports reporting this code?

Document the elbow dislocation, the side treated, and the closed reduction performed without anesthesia. The record should make clear that treatment was for the dislocation rather than a fracture-dislocation or radial head subluxation.

How is bilateral treatment reported?

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

Is routine follow-up included?

Yes. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care.

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be billed?

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

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
