About 27405: Primary knee collateral ligament repair
Primary repair of a torn knee collateral ligament or capsule, reported when the surgeon restores the damaged structure without performing a ligament reconstruction.
This code describes an operation to restore a torn knee collateral ligament or capsule through primary repair, such as suturing or reattaching repairable tissue. An orthopedic surgeon typically performs the procedure in an operating room for a knee injury where the operative plan is direct repair rather than graft-based reconstruction. The operative report should identify the repaired structure and describe the repair performed.
Select this code for primary repair of collateral ligament or capsular tissue; a cruciate ligament repair or a reconstruction calls for a different code. The day before surgery and 90 days of related postoperative care are included in its 90-day global period. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

27405 billing questions
When should 27405 be chosen instead of 27407?
Use 27405 for primary repair of a collateral ligament or capsule. Code 27407 is for primary repair involving a cruciate ligament.
When does 27409 apply?
Use 27409 when the operative service is primary repair of both collateral and cruciate ligaments. It distinguishes that combined repair from a collateral-only repair reported with 27405.
Is primary repair different from ligament reconstruction?
Yes. This code represents direct primary repair of collateral ligament or capsular tissue; a ligament reconstruction is a different service, such as the reconstruction represented by 27427.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
How is bilateral repair reported under the CMS facts?
For repair of both knees, modifier 50 is paid at 150% under the bilateral rule.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be paid?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team surgery is 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.
