About 24535: Closed humeral fracture treatment with manipulation
Reports closed reduction and fracture management for a humeral supracondylar or transcondylar fracture when the physician manipulates the fracture.
This code covers closed treatment of a supracondylar or transcondylar fracture of the humerus when the physician manipulates the fracture to achieve reduction; skeletal traction may also be used. An orthopedic surgeon commonly performs the reduction for an elbow fracture, often in an emergency department or hospital setting, with subsequent fracture care in the office. The fracture pattern must be supracondylar or transcondylar, and the treatment must include manipulation rather than immobilization alone.
Report the code when the physician provides the fracture treatment, not simply for evaluating the injury or applying a splint. The record should identify the fracture pattern and document the reduction or manipulation performed. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of 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 treatment, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

24535 billing questions
When should 24535 be chosen instead of 24530?
Use 24535 when closed treatment includes manipulation of a supracondylar or transcondylar humeral fracture. Code 24530 is the corresponding treatment without manipulation.
Does the documentation need to state that a reduction was performed?
Yes. Document the supracondylar or transcondylar fracture pattern and the manipulation or reduction performed; immobilization alone does not support 24535.
How does 24535 differ from percutaneous fixation?
24535 describes closed fracture treatment with manipulation. When percutaneous skeletal fixation is performed for a supracondylar humeral fracture, consider 24538 instead.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
Can an assistant surgeon or co-surgeon be reported?
CMS lists a statutory restriction on assistant-at-surgery payment for this code. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
