About 25675: Distal radioulnar dislocation reduction
Reports closed reduction of a distal radioulnar joint dislocation when the physician manipulates the joint to restore alignment without open surgery.
This service treats a dislocation at the distal radioulnar joint, where the radius and ulna meet near the wrist. The physician manipulates the joint through the skin to restore alignment, without an incision or open repair. It is typically performed by a physician managing a traumatic wrist or forearm injury, often in an emergency department or procedural setting.
Report the code when the documented treatment includes manipulation of the dislocated distal radioulnar joint; closed treatment without manipulation is a different service. The record should identify the affected side, the dislocation, and the reduction performed. The service has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

25675 billing questions
How does this differ from 25660?
Use 25675 when the physician manipulates the distal radioulnar dislocation to restore alignment. Code 25660 describes closed treatment of that dislocation without manipulation.
Can the reduction be reported with a fracture treatment code?
A distal radioulnar dislocation and a distal radius fracture are different conditions. Report a fracture treatment code only when the fracture is separately treated and the documentation supports that service.
How is bilateral treatment reported?
For treatment of both sides, modifier 50 applies; CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 150%.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
When is assistant-at-surgery payment allowed?
Only when medical necessity for the assistant is documented. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted for this code.
