About 26705: Closed MCP joint reduction with anesthesia

Reports closed reduction of a single metacarpophalangeal joint dislocation when manipulation is performed under anesthesia, rather than simple positioning or fixation.

This service is a closed reduction of a dislocated metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint—the knuckle where a finger meets the hand. The clinician manipulates the joint back into alignment without opening the joint or using percutaneous pins. It is typically performed by an orthopedic or hand surgeon, sometimes in an emergency or procedure setting, when reduction requires anesthesia. The code applies to one MCP joint; a dislocation at a finger’s interphalangeal joint is a different anatomic service.

The record should identify the affected MCP joint, document the dislocation, the manipulative reduction, and the use of anesthesia. This is a major procedure with a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

26705 billing questions

How does this differ from 26700?

26705 is for a single MCP dislocation reduced with manipulation requiring anesthesia. 26700 is the related code for closed treatment without manipulation.

When should 26706 be considered instead?

Use 26706 when percutaneous skeletal fixation is performed for the MCP dislocation. This code describes closed manipulative reduction without percutaneous fixation.

Can modifier 50 be used for dislocations on both hands?

No. The CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply to this code, and modifier 50 is inappropriate.

What postoperative care is included?

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

Can an assistant surgeon or co-surgeon be reported?

Assistant-at-surgery payment is available only when medical necessity is documented. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

Where these rates come from

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.
