About 27562: Patellar dislocation reduction under anesthesia
Reports closed reduction of a dislocated kneecap when anesthesia is required, rather than open repair or treatment of a dislocation of the knee joint.
An orthopedic surgeon uses closed manipulation to return a displaced patella to its normal position when anesthesia is required. The kneecap is reduced without surgically exposing the joint; the service may be performed in an operating room or another setting equipped for anesthesia. This code concerns patellar dislocation, not a dislocation of the tibiofemoral knee joint or a patellar fracture.
Report the service when documentation identifies the affected patella and supports closed reduction under anesthesia. Distinguish it from closed patellar treatment without anesthesia and from open treatment. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. For bilateral treatment, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
