Broken Lower Jaw Treated Without Repositioning

North Carolina rates for HCPCS 21450

Manages a fracture of the lower jaw whose pieces already sit in an acceptable position, so nothing is manipulated back into place and nothing is held with wires or hardware. Care is supportive — pain relief, a soft or liquid diet, limits on how the jaw is used — with follow-up to confirm the bone is staying put and healing. Wiring the jaw shut, or any surgical fixation, is a different treatment.
