About 26125: Additional-digit palmar fasciectomy
Reports fasciectomy and contracture release in each additional finger affected by Dupuytren disease, after the first digit is treated with the primary procedure.
This add-on describes extending an open fasciectomy and contracture release to an additional digit affected by Dupuytren disease. A hand surgeon typically removes diseased palmar and digital fascia that is restricting finger extension. It is used when more than one digit requires treatment during the operative session, beyond the first digit addressed by the primary procedure.
Report 26125 with 26123 for the first digit treated; it is not reported as a standalone service. Documentation should identify each additional digit treated and support fascial excision and contracture release at those sites. CMS classifies this as an add-on code: it must be billed with a primary procedure, and its payment falls within that procedure’s global period.

26125 billing questions
What primary code is reported with 26125?
Report 26125 with 26123, which covers the first digit treated with fasciectomy and contracture release. Do not report 26125 by itself.
When is 26125 used instead of 26121?
26125 is for each additional digit treated after the first digit under 26123. 26121 describes fasciectomy limited to the palm, without the palm-and-finger treatment represented by this code family’s digit services.
How should the additional digits be documented?
Identify each additional digit treated and document the diseased fascia excised and the contracture release performed. The record should distinguish those digits from the first digit reported with 26123.
Is 26125 an add-on code?
Yes. It must be billed with a primary procedure, and CMS payment is within that procedure’s global period.
Can 26125 be reported for multiple additional digits?
The code represents each additional digit. The operative documentation should support the number of additional digits treated.
