About 25645: Open treatment of other carpal fracture
Report open treatment for a fractured carpal bone other than the scaphoid, with coding based on the bone treated and each bone counted separately.
A hand or orthopedic surgeon surgically exposes a fractured carpal bone other than the scaphoid, restores its alignment, and may stabilize the fragments. The code can apply to bones such as the lunate, triquetrum, hamate, or capitate. These operations are generally performed in an operating room for a fracture requiring open treatment rather than closed care.
Select 25645 when the operative report supports open treatment of a non-scaphoid carpal fracture, and identify the bone and each bone treated. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery services may be paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

25645 billing questions
When should 25645 be used instead of 25628?
Use 25645 for open treatment of a carpal fracture other than the scaphoid. Use 25628 when the fractured bone is the scaphoid.
Does the code count each fractured bone?
Yes. The code is reported for each carpal bone treated, so documentation should identify the specific bone or bones addressed.
Is fracture fixation separately reported?
Reduction and stabilization performed as part of the open treatment are captured in the fracture service. Do not report a separate code for fixation of that same fracture.
How does the 90-day global period affect follow-up?
The day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included in the global period.
Can 25645 be reported for both wrists?
For bilateral treatment, CMS payment uses modifier 50 and pays the procedure at 150%. Document the treated bone or bones on each side.
Can an assistant surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery services may be paid for 25645. 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.
