Is CPT code 26605 (Closed treatment of metacarpal fracture, single; with manipulation, each bone) the correct code for this case? ANSWER: From the notes you provided, I would agree that it would be correct to report CPT code 26605 for this procedure. In addition, I would report CPT code 26608 (Percutaneous skeletal fixation of metacarpal fracture, each bone) because the physician performed percutaneous fixation as well. Editorâs note: Shelley C.
