What 28047 covers

This code describes operative removal of a soft-tissue tumor in the foot or toe when the tumor measures at least 3 cm. It may be performed by an orthopedic foot and ankle surgeon or podiatrist in a hospital or ambulatory surgery setting. Examples include resection of a sizable mass arising in the plantar foot or toe; the operative report should establish the site, tumor dimensions, and extent of removal.

Select this code based on the documented tumor size and the resection performed, distinguishing it from smaller resection and layer-specific excision codes. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. For bilateral reporting with modifier 50, payment is at 150%. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
