About 24576: Closed treatment of humeral condylar fracture without manipulation
Reports closed management of a humeral condylar fracture near the elbow when the clinician treats it without manipulating the fracture fragments.
This service covers nonoperative treatment of a fracture involving a condyle of the distal humerus, at the elbow. An orthopedic clinician typically selects it when the fracture can be managed without manipulating the fragments, with immobilization and clinical follow-up as needed. The fracture location matters: a condylar fracture is distinct from a supracondylar, epicondylar, or humeral shaft fracture.
Report this code for the closed treatment episode when no reduction maneuver is performed. The record should identify the condylar fracture and support the decision to manage it without manipulation. CMS assigns a 90-day global period: the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included. When other procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and subsequent procedures are paid at 50%. For bilateral treatment reported with modifier 50, CMS payment is 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

24576 billing questions
When should 24576 be chosen over 24577?
Use 24576 when the humeral condylar fracture is treated without manipulating the fragments. If the clinician performs a manipulation to reduce or reposition them, consider 24577.
Are routine fracture follow-up visits separately payable?
The CMS 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
How does CMS handle another procedure performed in the same session?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full; other procedures in that session are paid at 50% under the standard multiple procedure reduction.
How is bilateral treatment paid?
When the service is performed bilaterally and reported with modifier 50, CMS pays 150%.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment is subject to a statutory restriction. CMS does not permit co-surgeons or team surgery for this code.
