The surgeon has to make more than one cut in the humeral shaft. Those segments then have to be realigned over an intramedullary rod that runs through them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The technique is named for Harold Sofield, who described segmental division and intramedullary rodding for children with osteogenesis imperfecta. Surgeons still call it the shish-kebab procedure, because the rod threads the cut segments like beads on a skewer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CPT subsection heading above this code names both the humerus and the elbow, so the word elbow is easy to borrow. That is where the miscoding starts. The descriptor itself says humeral shaft, and only humeral shaft. An elbow procedure does not belong on a 24410 claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"CPT Coding Pitfalls Every Medical Practice Faces\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vbvV5okdXKg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-cpt-24410-differs-from-the-neighboring-humerus-codes\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How CPT 24410 differs from the neighboring humerus codes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Four other codes in the 24000 series sit close enough to 24410 to be confused with it.

Both operations put a rod down the humeral shaft, so the indication is what separates them. A fracture repaired over a nail is 24516, even when the bone was already deformed. Multiple planned osteotomies realigned over a rod are 24410.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Payers deny 24410 when the note describes a single osteotomy, or no rod at all. Both elements have to appear in the record. <a href=\"https:\/\/pabau.com\/procedure-codes\/cpt-code-25492\/\">CPT code 25492<\/a> raises the same documentation questions in the forearm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-clinical-indications-for-a-sofield-type-humeral-rodding\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clinical indications for a Sofield-type humeral rodding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sofield-type rodding is a deformity operation for bone too weak or too bent to hold a straight line on its own. Osteogenesis imperfecta is the usual reason. Other skeletal dysplasias account for most of the remainder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li><strong>Osteogenesis imperfecta:<\/strong> progressive humeral bowing with repeated fracture through the same weak shaft.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia:<\/strong> a shaft weakened by dysplastic bone that needs internal support.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Osteopetrosis and other osteochondrodysplasias:<\/strong> brittle or deformed bone where correction is planned over a rod.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Congenital humeral deformity:<\/strong> angular deformity limiting reach that bracing cannot correct.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The patient&rsquo;s age decides which payer you deal with. Most Sofield cases are children, so Medicaid and commercial plans adjudicate these claims far more often than Medicare does. The Medicare schedule still sets the benchmark those commercial contracts are priced against.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-relative-value-units-and-reimbursement-calculation\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Relative value units and reimbursement calculation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Relative value units (RVUs) are the building blocks of Medicare payment. For CPT code 24410, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cms.gov\/medicare\/physician-fee-schedule\/search\/overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CMS Physician Fee Schedule<\/a> assigns three components.

The code is facility-only. CMS did not develop non-facility practice expense RVUs for it, because a multiple humeral osteotomy is not performed in an office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-what-facility-only-status-means-on-the-claim\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What facility-only status means on the claim<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The facility bills its own payment separately, under the outpatient prospective payment system or the ASC schedule. Your claim covers the professional work alone. A POS 11 office code on a 24410 claim does not unlock a higher rate, and it usually stalls the claim instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:separate;border-spacing:0;border-radius:12px;overflow:hidden;font-size:15px;line-height:1.5;margin:1.5em 0 2em;box-shadow:0 2px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.08)\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"background:#121D36;color:#fff;padding:14px 16px;text-align:left;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;letter-spacing:0.3px;border-bottom:2px solid #2BADD4\">Setting<\/th>\n<th style=\"background:#121D36;color:#fff;padding:14px 16px;text-align:left;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;letter-spacing:0.3px;border-bottom:2px solid #2BADD4\">Place of service code<\/th>\n<th style=\"background:#121D36;color:#fff;padding:14px 16px;text-align:left;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;letter-spacing:0.3px;border-bottom:2px solid #2BADD4\">2026 national payment<\/th>\n<th style=\"background:#121D36;color:#fff;padding:14px 16px;text-align:left;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;letter-spacing:0.3px;border-bottom:2px solid #2BADD4\">Notes<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E8ECF0\">\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;font-weight:600;color:#121D36\">Hospital inpatient or outpatient<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">POS 21, 22<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">~$976.98<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">The facility bills its own payment separately<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E8ECF0;background:#F9FAFB\">\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;font-weight:600;color:#121D36\">Ambulatory surgery center<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">POS 24<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">~$976.98<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">Same professional rate.

CMS finalized two conversion factors this year. Qualifying alternative payment model participants are paid at $33.5675, which puts 24410 at about $981.85. Everyone else is paid at $33.4009, or about $976.98.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GPCI adjustments then move that figure by region. High-cost localities such as Manhattan and San Francisco sit above the national average, while rural localities sit below it. Check the CMS lookup for your own locality before you quote a number to anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commercial rates for CPT code 24410 are contractual and confidential. Most private plans set their schedules as a percentage of Medicare, commonly between 110% and 160%. Ask each payer directly rather than assuming your contract follows that pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n        <div id=\"pro_tip\">\n            <div class=\"img\">\n                <svg width=\"42\" height=\"42\" viewBox=\"0 0 42 42\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n                    <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\n                        d=\"M12.6383 19.5238C12.6632 21.2071 12.8734 22.9926 12.0685 24.5523C11.0341 26.8917 8.45076 28.169 7.56292 30.5918C6.63082 33.1061 7.19505 36.185 9.31371 37.9786C10.929 39.5678 13.4183 39.9873 15.6061 39.5463C17.4592 39.073 19.1049 37.8388 19.9706 36.1608C20.781 34.7141 20.7866 32.9904 20.5293 31.3985C20.1006 29.3092 18.3775 27.8705 16.9807 26.362C14.8814 24.1005 14.6684 20.6854 15.595 17.8915C16.4331 15.4768 19.0026 14.2344 20.0425 11.9461C20.7202 10.6769 20.7506 9.20327 20.6068 7.81304C20.1864 5.40098 18.3139 3.23631 15.8716 2.56674C13.9742 2.03969 11.8224 2.30052 10.1739 3.37614C8.70522 4.34688 7.5878 5.86618 7.28356 7.58178C6.76081 9.82981 7.53525 12.2822 9.20307 13.9118C10.7658 15.4741 12.4806 17.2273 12.6383 19.5238Z\"\n                        fill=\"#2BADD4\" \/>\n                    <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\n                        d=\"M22.7048 19.8387C22.6822 22.3279 24.4507 24.6234 26.7493 25.4682C28.0531 25.961 29.4725 25.9183 30.7989 25.5487C32.0575 24.9955 33.301 24.2237 34.0069 23.0092C34.8384 21.5811 35.2982 19.8286 34.7832 18.2094C34.3611 16.2507 32.8739 14.6541 31.0275 13.9426C28.6736 12.9595 25.8073 13.7942 24.1719 15.7001C23.2022 16.8366 22.6143 18.3326 22.7048 19.8387Z\"\n                        fill=\"#2BADD4\" \/>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"text\">\n                <h3>Pro Tip<\/h3>\n                <p>Check the place of service code before a 24410 claim goes out.

A thin operative note is the usual reason a post-payment review ends in a recoupment demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li><strong>Operative note:<\/strong> the number of osteotomies, the level of each cut, the realignment achieved, and the rod that holds it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Implant record:<\/strong> the rod type, size and insertion site.

Practices that standardize pre-operative paperwork with <a href=\"https:\/\/pabau.com\/features\/patient-intake-software\/\">digital intake forms<\/a> catch a missing element before the case reaches the OR.

Rehabilitation sits outside the surgeon&rsquo;s package, so a <a href=\"https:\/\/pabau.com\/industry\/physical-therapy-emr\/\">physical therapy practice<\/a> bills its own visits under its own NPI. Split care has its own modifiers. Surgical care only is 54, post-operative management only is 55, and pre-operative management only is 56.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CMS publishes those percentages rather than leaving them to negotiation. It assigns 24410 a 10% pre-operative share, 69% intra-operative and 21% post-operative. A surgeon who rods the humerus and hands follow-up back to a referring practice bills modifier 54 and collects 79% of the allowed amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tracking global periods by hand across a surgical list is error-prone. A platform that flags an active global period against incoming appointment types stops the accidental separate claim. The same 90-day window governs other major musculoskeletal work, so a practice also billing <a href=\"https:\/\/pabau.com\/procedure-codes\/cpt-code-22600\/\">CPT code 22600<\/a> is running several clocks at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-practice-management-software-streamlines-cpt-code-24410-billing\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How practice management software streamlines CPT code 24410 billing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Billing a code like 24410 usually breaks at the workflow level. Claims go out without the authorization number attached. The 90-day window is missed because scheduling and billing never talk to each other. Modifier decisions get made without the operative note open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pabau is practice management software that keeps those three systems in one place. Its <a href=\"https:\/\/pabau.com\/features\/claims-management-software\/\">claims management software<\/a> links the clinical record, the appointment book and the billing workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Log and code the procedure once. From there the platform surfaces the global period against future appointments, flags a missing authorization reference and follows the claim through adjudication. Orthopedic groups and <a href=\"https:\/\/pabau.com\/industry\/sports-medicine-software\/\">sports medicine practices<\/a> get the same tracking on every surgical code they bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pabau.com\/cdn\/attachments\/pulse\/content-engine\/billing_codes\/cpt-code-24410\/automate-claims-through-healthcode.webp\" alt=\"Automate claims and billing with Pabau\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Pabau&rsquo;s claims management submits a 24410 claim electronically, so a four-figure surgical bill moves without manual re-entry.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px;width:800px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li><strong>Pre-authorization tracking:<\/strong> store the authorization reference against the procedure record, so billers always have the payer confirmation to hand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Global period management:<\/strong> flag the 90-day window on the patient&rsquo;s calendar to prevent an accidental unbundled claim.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Denial workflow:<\/strong> route a denied claim to the right coder with the denial reason attached, which shortens the gap before resubmission.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Documentation completeness:<\/strong> tie pre-operative form status to scheduling, so an incomplete consent is flagged before the procedure date.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Practices moving to a <a href=\"https:\/\/pabau.com\/blog\/benefits-of-going-paperless-how-pabau-can-save-your-clinic-time-and-space\/\">paperless clinical workflow<\/a> hold operative notes, consent forms and imaging reports in one record.

class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786952183843\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is CPT code 24410 used for?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">CPT code 24410 reports multiple osteotomies of the humeral shaft realigned over an intramedullary rod, known as a Sofield type procedure. The surgeon divides a bowed or fragile shaft into segments and threads a rod through them to hold the correction. Osteogenesis imperfecta is the most common indication.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786952183844\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the Medicare reimbursement rate for CPT code 24410?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The 2026 national Medicare payment for CPT code 24410 is about $976.98. That figure is 29.25 total RVUs multiplied by the $33.4009 conversion factor. Qualifying alternative payment model participants are paid at $33.5675, or about $981.85. GPCI adjustments then move both figures by locality.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786952183851\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the difference between CPT 24410 and CPT 24516?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Both codes put a rod down the humeral shaft, but the indication differs. CPT 24516 treats a humeral shaft fracture with an intramedullary implant. CPT 24410 corrects a deformity through multiple planned osteotomies realigned over a rod. The operative note has to state which one the surgery was for.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786952183848\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is CPT code 24410 a facility or non-facility code?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">CPT code 24410 is facility-only. CMS did not develop non-facility practice expense RVUs for it, so the fee schedule carries NA in the non-facility indicator field. There is no separate, higher office rate, and a POS 11 claim will not create one.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786952183850\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What are the relative value units (RVUs) for CPT 24410?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The 2026 values are 14.73 work RVUs, 11.39 facility practice expense RVUs and 3.13 malpractice RVUs. That gives a total of 29.25 RVUs. CMS publishes no non-facility practice expense RVU for this code. Multiply the total by the conversion factor and your GPCI to estimate payment.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786952183845\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What modifiers apply to CPT code 24410?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The payment ones are 50 for a bilateral case, 51 for multiple procedures and 59 for a distinct service. Laterality takes LT or RT. Staffing takes 80 for an assistant surgeon or 62 for co-surgeons. Split care uses 54, 55 and 56, and modifier 66 for team surgery is not payable on this code.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786952183846\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the global period for CPT code 24410?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">CPT code 24410 carries a 90-day global surgical period. Routine post-operative visits are bundled into the surgical fee, as is office management of a complication. A planned staged procedure takes modifier 58, and an unplanned return to the operating room takes modifier 78.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786952183847\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What ICD-10 codes are used with CPT 24410?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The Q78 skeletal dysplasia family carries most 24410 claims. Q78.0 for osteogenesis imperfecta leads, with Q78.1, Q78.2, Q78.8 and Q78.9 also in use, and Q74.0 for other congenital upper limb malformation. No Q78 code carries a side, so laterality has to come from the LT or RT modifier.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786952183849\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What documentation is required to bill CPT code 24410?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The operative note must say how many osteotomies were made, where they were made, and that the segments were realigned over an intramedullary rod. Record the rod type and size as well. Add pre-operative imaging of the deformity, a medical necessity statement and the prior authorization reference.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CPT code 24410 covers multiple humeral shaft osteotomies realigned over a rod.
