Orthopedic fracture care

About 26750: Closed distal phalanx fracture treatment

Reports closed treatment of a finger or thumb distal phalanx fracture when treatment does not require manipulation, billed for each fracture treated.

CPT 26750 describes closed treatment of a fracture in the distal phalanx of a finger or thumb when the provider treats it without manipulating the fracture. Orthopedic surgeons, hand surgeons, and other qualified clinicians may provide this care in an office, emergency department, or hospital setting. The code is reported for each treated fracture, not once for the entire hand. It is distinct from treatment that requires manipulation, percutaneous fixation, or open treatment.

The record should identify the affected digit and distal phalanx fracture, support the closed-treatment approach, and show that manipulation was not performed. CMS assigns a 90-day global period; the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service, and co-surgeon and team-surgery billing are not permitted.

26750 billing questions

When should 26750 be used instead of 26755?

Use 26750 for closed treatment of a distal phalanx fracture without manipulation. Use 26755 when manipulation is performed.

Is the code reported once per hand or per fracture?

Report it for each distal phalanx fracture treated. Document the specific digit and fracture so the units are clear.

Can modifier 50 be used for fractures on both hands?

No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code. Report each treated fracture rather than applying modifier 50.

Does the global period include fracture follow-up?

Yes. 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 billed for this service?

Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
