About 25695: Open treatment of lunate dislocation
Reports open surgical reduction of a displaced lunate, with stabilization when needed, rather than closed treatment of the wrist injury.
This service covers open surgery to restore a dislocated lunate to its position in the wrist. An orthopedic or hand surgeon typically performs it in an operating room for an acute traumatic injury, often after high-energy trauma. The surgeon exposes the joint, repositions the lunate, and may stabilize it with fixation when needed. The operative report should identify the dislocation and describe the open treatment performed.
Choose this code for open treatment of the lunate itself; closed treatment with manipulation is represented by 25690. A trans-scaphoid perilunate fracture-dislocation is a different injury pattern. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Modifier 50 reports bilateral treatment and is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

25695 billing questions
How does this differ from 25690?
25695 is for open surgical treatment of the lunate dislocation. Code 25690 is for closed treatment with manipulation.
Does this code include fixation?
Stabilization or internal fixation may be part of the open treatment when performed. The operative note should describe the reduction and any fixation used.
Should this be reported for a trans-scaphoid perilunate fracture-dislocation?
That fracture-dislocation pattern is distinct from an isolated lunate dislocation; consider 25685 when the documented injury and treatment match that code.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
How are bilateral procedures and multiple same-session procedures paid?
Modifier 50 reports bilateral treatment and is paid at 150%. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available. Co-surgeons require supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
