About 23650: Closed shoulder dislocation reduction without anesthesia
Reports closed manipulation to reduce a shoulder dislocation when the reduction is performed without anesthesia, such as in an emergency department or office.
This service covers closed manipulation to restore alignment after a shoulder dislocation, without anesthesia. A common situation is an emergency physician or orthopedic surgeon reducing an uncomplicated glenohumeral dislocation in an emergency department; the service may also occur in an office or other appropriate setting. The code is for a dislocation treated by manipulation, not a proximal humeral fracture treated as a fracture or an open reduction.
Report the code when the shoulder is reduced by manipulation and anesthesia is not used for the procedure; the anesthesia distinction separates it from 23655. Document the dislocation, side, manipulation and reduction performed, and anesthesia status. The service has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery services are not paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

23650 billing questions
How does 23650 differ from 23655?
Both describe closed manipulation of a shoulder dislocation. Use 23650 when the reduction is performed without anesthesia and 23655 when anesthesia is used.
Does a dislocation with a humeral fracture belong under this code?
A dislocation accompanied by a specified humeral fracture may fall under a separate fracture-dislocation code, such as 23665 for a greater tuberosity fracture. Choose based on the documented injury and treatment, not the dislocation alone.
What should the record show?
Document the affected side, the shoulder dislocation, the manipulation and reduction performed, and whether anesthesia was used. These details support the code and distinguish it from fracture-dislocation treatment.
How is bilateral treatment reported?
When both shoulders are treated, report bilateral services with modifier 50; CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 150%.
Can an assistant or another surgeon be reported?
CMS does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
