# CPT 27245

> Medicare paid $1,262.04 for CPT 27245 in the office (non-facility) setting and $1,262.04 in a facility under the Q4 2014 Physician Fee Schedule, effective October 2014. These are the national allowed amounts before the ~2% sequestration cut and before locality (GPCI) adjustment.

## What it is

Repair of a break through the flared bone at the top of the thigh, at or below the bony bumps where the big hip muscles attach, using a metal rod driven down the hollow center of the femur. A screw or blade usually runs from the rod up into the hip ball to hold the head fragment, and additional locking screws or wires may be used. The rod-down-the-canal technique is what separates this from repairs done with a side plate and screws.
