About 27230: Femoral neck fracture treatment without manipulation
Reports closed, nonoperative treatment of a femoral neck fracture when the physician manages the fracture without manipulating it.
An orthopedic surgeon or other physician may report this service when managing a femoral neck fracture without an incision, internal fixation, or manipulation of the fracture. The treatment plan is nonoperative and may include measures such as activity restrictions and follow-up imaging to monitor healing. The code applies to the femoral neck, not a fracture of the femoral shaft or another part of the hip.
Select this code when the documented fracture location and treatment method support closed care without manipulation. The record should identify the femoral neck fracture and describe the physician’s fracture-management plan; a visit that only evaluates the injury does not by itself establish fracture 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 multiple-procedure reduction. For bilateral treatment, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. CMS does not pay an assistant at surgery; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
