What 28062 covers

Code 28062 represents a broad, radical excision of plantar fascia rather than a limited partial fasciectomy. A common indication is symptomatic plantar fibromatosis, in which fibrous nodules develop in the plantar aponeurosis; the surgeon removes a substantial diseased fascial segment. An orthopedic foot-and-ankle surgeon or podiatric surgeon typically performs the operation in a surgical setting for extensive or persistent fascial disease.

Select the code from the operative work and the extent of fascia removed, not from the diagnosis alone. The operative report should identify the plantar fascia as the target and describe the tissue removed and the extent of excision. CMS classifies this as major surgery: the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued is paid in full and other procedures at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is 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.
