What 27886 covers

Code 27886 describes operative revision of an existing lower-extremity amputation at the ankle. The surgeon reshapes the residual limb and revises involved bone and soft tissue when the prior stump needs surgical correction, such as for a problematic contour or tissue breakdown. Orthopedic and vascular surgeons commonly perform this work in an operating room; this code is for revising an existing amputation, not creating a new ankle-level amputation.

Report the code when the operative note establishes both a prior amputation and revision at the ankle, rather than a new amputation or revision through the tibia and fibula. The 90-day global includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
