Orthopedic fracture care
About 24530: Closed treatment of supracondylar humerus fracture
Report this service for closed care of a supracondylar or transcondylar humerus fracture near the elbow when treatment requires no manipulation.
This code describes nonoperative care of a supracondylar or transcondylar fracture of the distal humerus, near the elbow, when the fracture is treated without manipulating the fragments. An orthopedic surgeon commonly manages these injuries, including in children with supracondylar fractures. Care may involve immobilization in a cast or splint, with follow-up to monitor healing and function.
Select the code when documentation identifies the fracture as supracondylar or transcondylar and supports treatment without manipulation; use a different code when the fracture is manipulated or fixed. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. In a same-session multiple-procedure claim, 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 is restricted, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

Document the supracondylar or transcondylar fracture location, the treatment plan, and that the fracture was managed without manipulation.
How is bilateral treatment reported?
CMS identifies this as a bilateral procedure; reporting modifier 50 is paid at 150%.
Can an assistant surgeon or co-surgeon be paid for this service?
CMS restricts assistant-at-surgery payment for this code. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
What care is included in the global period?
