What 28102 covers

This service treats a bone cyst or benign tumor in a tarsal or metatarsal bone of the foot. The surgeon exposes the involved bone, removes or curettes the lesion, and fills the resulting defect with the patient’s own bone. Obtaining the autograft is included. Orthopedic foot and ankle surgeons and podiatric surgeons may perform the procedure in a hospital or ambulatory surgical setting.

Select this code when the treated bone is tarsal or metatarsal and the defect is filled with autograft; document the lesion, exact bone, removal or curettage, and graft use. 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 others at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon and team-surgery payment 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.

28102 billing questions

When is this code appropriate instead of 28100?

Use this code for a lesion in a tarsal or metatarsal bone treated with autograft. Code 28100 is for the talus or calcaneus with autograft.

Is graft harvest included?

Yes. The service includes obtaining and using the patient’s own bone graft to fill the defect.

Can the graft be billed separately?

The autograft and its procurement are included in this service. The operative note should identify the graft as autologous and describe its use in the defect.

How is bilateral treatment reported?

CMS lists this as a bilateral procedure; modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Document the treated bone and lesion on each side.

What postoperative care is included?

The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be paid?

Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made. CMS does not permit co-surgeon or team-surgery payment for this code.

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.
