About 24565: Closed reduction of humeral epicondylar fracture
Reports closed treatment of a humeral epicondylar fracture when the clinician manipulates the fracture to improve alignment without open exposure.
This code describes nonopen treatment of a fracture at a humeral epicondyle near the elbow, with the clinician manipulating the fracture to improve alignment. Orthopedic surgeons and other qualified clinicians may provide this care after elbow trauma, commonly in a hospital or other facility. The treatment may include immobilization after reduction, with post-manipulation assessment of alignment and neurovascular status.
Choose the code when the documented fracture is epicondylar and manipulation is performed as part of closed treatment. The record should identify the fracture site and describe the reduction and resulting alignment. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Modifier 50 bilateral reporting is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery services are not paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

24565 billing questions
How does this differ from code 24560?
Both describe closed treatment of a humeral epicondylar fracture. Use 24565 when the clinician manipulates the fracture; 24560 is for treatment without manipulation.
When would 24566 or 24575 be considered instead?
These codes describe different treatment methods for an epicondylar fracture: percutaneous skeletal fixation for 24566 and open treatment for 24575. The operative record should support the method performed.
What documentation supports reporting 24565?
Document the humeral epicondylar fracture, the manipulation performed to improve alignment, and the post-reduction findings. Include the treatment and immobilization plan.
How does the global period affect related visits?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
How are multiple procedures and bilateral treatment handled?
For procedures in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are paid at 50%. CMS pays bilateral reporting with modifier 50 at 150%.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
CMS does not pay assistant-at-surgery services 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.
