Hand surgery

About 26670: Closed treatment of hand joint dislocation

Reports closed management of a carpometacarpal dislocation outside the thumb when the provider treats the injury without manipulating the joint.

This code covers closed management of a carpometacarpal joint dislocation in the hand, excluding the thumb, when the provider does not manipulate the joint. These injuries may involve the bases of the metacarpals, including the ring- or small-finger side of the hand. Orthopedic or hand surgeons commonly provide this treatment; an emergency physician may also manage the injury when the documented service meets the code’s scope.

Select this code when the record identifies a non-thumb carpometacarpal dislocation and supports treatment without manipulation. Documentation should specify the injured joint, the treatment performed, and why manipulation was not part of the service. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including 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 are subject to the standard multiple procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

26670 billing questions

How does this differ from 26675?

26670 is for closed treatment without manipulation. Use 26675 when manipulation is performed.

Can this code be used for a thumb carpometacarpal dislocation?

No. This code is for a carpometacarpal dislocation outside the thumb; 26641 is the corresponding closed-treatment code for a thumb dislocation without manipulation.

Is modifier 50 appropriate when both hands are treated?

No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code.

What postoperative care is included?

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

When is assistant-at-surgery payment allowed?

CMS allows assistant-at-surgery payment only when the medical necessity is documented.

Can it be reported with another procedure performed in the same session?

Yes, when both procedures are separately reportable. Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the other procedures are subject to the reduction.

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.
