About 24586: Open elbow periarticular fracture treatment
Open surgery treats a fracture and/or dislocation around the elbow, with internal fixation included when performed as part of the repair.
An orthopedic or trauma surgeon uses an open approach to treat a fracture and/or dislocation involving the area around the elbow joint. The operation may restore alignment and stabilize the injury with internal fixation. This code is suited to an operative injury pattern described as periarticular, rather than a separately defined fracture type that has its own more specific treatment code. These cases are generally performed in an operating room, often in a hospital or other surgical facility.
Report the code when the operative record supports open treatment of the periarticular injury; internal fixation performed as part of that treatment is included. Document the fracture and dislocation pattern, operative approach, reduction, and stabilization. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in one 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 payment may be available; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

24586 billing questions
When should I choose 24586 instead of 24587?
Use 24586 for open treatment when external fixation is not part of the reported service. Use 24587 when the operative treatment includes external fixation.
Is internal fixation separately reported with 24586?
Internal fixation performed as part of the open treatment is included in 24586. The record should describe the repair and stabilization performed.
How does the 90-day global period affect postoperative billing?
The day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included in the global period. This applies to care related to the operation.
Can modifier 50 be used when both elbows are treated?
CMS lists this as a bilateral procedure: reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. The operative documentation should support treatment on both sides.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; CMS does not permit team-surgery payment.
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.
