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

What 28111 covers

The surgeon removes a limited portion of the head of the first metatarsal, the long bone behind the great toe. This may address a painful prominence or localized bone problem. The procedure is performed by a foot and ankle surgeon or other qualified surgeon, commonly in an operating room or ambulatory surgery center. The operative report should identify the first metatarsal and describe the portion removed and the reason for excision.

Select this code when the work is a partial resection of the first metatarsal head, rather than a resection of another metatarsal or removal of the whole bone. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued is paid in full and the others are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. For bilateral surgery, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeons are paid only with supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
