Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 28041 covers

A surgeon, commonly an orthopedic surgeon or podiatrist, uses this code to remove a tumor in the foot or toe that lies deep to the fascia and measures 1.5 cm or more. The procedure may be performed in an operating room or another setting appropriate for the surgical approach. The operative report should identify the foot or toe site, describe the tumor’s depth and measured size, and explain the extent of removal.

Choose this code when both the deep location and size threshold are supported; a superficial lesion or a smaller deep lesion falls under a different code in the family. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, which 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 the others are subject to the standard 50% reduction. For bilateral surgery, modifier 50 results in payment at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
