About G0415: Open posterior pelvic ring fracture treatment
Report G0415 for open operative treatment of a posterior pelvic ring fracture, including internal fixation when performed, in unilateral or bilateral cases.
G0415 represents open surgical treatment of a fracture involving the posterior pelvic ring. The orthopedic or orthopedic trauma surgeon exposes the fracture to reduce and stabilize it; internal fixation is included when performed. These injuries may involve the sacrum or the sacroiliac portion of the pelvic ring and are generally treated in an operating room, commonly in a hospital facility. The code describes the posterior ring service, not a general pelvic fracture repair or an iliac spine avulsion repair.
Select G0415 from the operative report’s documented fracture location and open approach. The record should establish the posterior pelvic ring injury and describe the treatment performed, including fixation when applicable. The code covers unilateral or bilateral treatment, so modifier 50 is not appropriate. A 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple procedure reduction. CMS may pay for an assistant at surgery and permits co-surgeons; team surgery is not permitted.

G0415 billing questions
When should G0415 be selected instead of another pelvic fracture code?

No. G0415 covers unilateral or bilateral treatment, and the bilateral adjustment does not apply.
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 or co-surgeon be reported?
CMS permits assistant-at-surgery payment and co-surgeons for this service. Team surgery is not permitted.
How does CMS handle G0415 with other procedures in the same session?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures in the same session are subject to the standard multiple procedure reduction.
