Repair of a Cut Tendon on the Back of the Forearm

Nationwide rates for HCPCS 25270

Stitches back together a torn or cut tendon or muscle on the back of the forearm or wrist — the group that straightens the wrist and fingers. It is done soon after the injury, while the tendon ends can still be brought together directly. It covers one tendon; if more than one is repaired, each is billed separately.
