About 25924: Wrist-Level Hand Amputation Revision
Revision of an existing hand amputation at the wrist is reported when surgery reshapes or corrects the stump rather than creating the original amputation.
This service revises an established amputation stump at the wrist. The surgeon may address a problematic stump that needs operative correction; it is distinct from performing the initial wrist-level hand amputation. It is generally performed by an orthopedic or hand surgeon in an operating-room setting. The operative report should identify the existing amputation level and describe the revision performed.
Report this code for revision at the wrist level, not for revision of a forearm-level or more distal hand amputation. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. 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% multiple-procedure reduction. For bilateral procedures, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeon and team-surgery payment are not permitted.

25924 billing questions
How does this differ from an initial wrist-level hand amputation?
This code is for revising an existing amputation stump at the wrist. Use an initial amputation code when the procedure creates the amputation rather than revising a prior one.
Which documentation supports reporting this revision?
The operative report should establish the prior wrist-level amputation and describe the surgical correction to the stump. Documentation should distinguish this site from a forearm-level or more distal hand amputation.
How does the 90-day global period affect postoperative care?
The global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. Those included services are not separately reported as routine postoperative care.
What happens when other procedures are performed in the same session?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. For bilateral reporting, modifier 50 is paid at 150%.
Can an assistant or another surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available. CMS does not permit co-surgeon or team-surgery payment for this code.
