What 25907 covers
This code represents revision surgery at a previous forearm amputation site. An orthopedic or hand surgeon may operate to address a residual limb problem, such as a painful or poorly functioning stump. The operative report should establish that the surgeon revised the existing amputation site and identify the anatomical level and work performed; routine prosthetic assessment or postoperative care alone is not this service.
Select the code based on the documented operation and forearm level, distinguishing revision from a new amputation and from revision at the wrist or hand. The service has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during that period. 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 identifies bilateral performance, paid at 150%. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

- 25924 is a nearby amputation follow-up surgery code. Confirm the operative level and select the code matching the documented procedure rather than relying on the shared follow-up label.
25907 billing questions
How is this different from a new forearm amputation?
This code is for revision of an existing forearm amputation site. Report a new-amputation code when the operation creates the amputation rather than revising a prior site.
What documentation supports reporting this code?
The operative report should identify the prior amputation, the forearm-level site, and the revision work performed. A clinic visit for residual-limb assessment without operative revision does not support this service.
Are routine postoperative visits separately reported?
Related postoperative care during the 90-day global period is included, as is the day-before preoperative visit.
How are bilateral procedures and multiple procedures handled?
When performed bilaterally, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others are subject to the standard 50% reduction.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
An assistant at surgery may be paid. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted for this code.
