What 28060 covers

This operation removes a segment of the plantar fascia, the strong band of tissue along the sole. Orthopedic foot-and-ankle surgeons and podiatrists commonly perform it for symptomatic plantar fibromatosis, also called Ledderhose disease, when involved fascia is excised rather than simply released. The procedure is generally performed in an operating room or ambulatory surgery setting. The operative report should make clear that fascial tissue was removed and identify the treated side and extent of excision.

Report the partial removal when the surgeon excises only part of the plantar fascia; complete removal is a different service. The record should support the indication and describe the tissue removed. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are reduced to 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
