Orthopedic fracture care
About 27232: Femoral neck fracture closed reduction
Reports closed treatment of a femoral neck fracture when the physician manipulates the fracture alignment, with or without skeletal traction.
This service covers closed treatment of a femoral neck fracture when the physician manipulates the bone alignment without surgically exposing the fracture. Skeletal traction may be used. An orthopedic surgeon typically performs the treatment in a hospital or other acute-care setting, often with anesthesia or sedation for reduction. The code is distinct from care that leaves alignment undisturbed and from percutaneous or open fixation.
Select the code when the record supports manipulation of the femoral neck fracture; document the fracture site, reduction performed, and use of traction when applicable. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
