What 28112 covers

The surgeon removes the head of the second metatarsal to address a localized bone prominence, deformity, or other condition for which resection is clinically indicated. Podiatric and orthopedic surgeons typically perform this operation in an operating room or ambulatory surgery setting. The operative report should identify the second metatarsal, the side, the reason for surgery, and the bone removed.

Select this code when the documented resection is of the second metatarsal head; distinguish it from procedures involving another metatarsal or a different extent of bone removal. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted by statute; co-surgeons are paid only with 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.

28112 billing questions

How is this code distinguished from 28111 or 28113?

This code is for resection of the second metatarsal head. Codes 28111 and 28113 identify the first and third metatarsal heads, respectively.

Does the 90-day global include postoperative care?

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

How is bilateral surgery reported?

For bilateral procedures, modifier 50 applies; CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 150%.

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?

Assistant-at-surgery payment is barred by statutory restriction. Co-surgeons are paid only when supporting documentation is provided.

What documentation supports selecting this code?

The operative report should establish that the second metatarsal head was resected, identify the side, and describe the indication and extent of the bone removal.

What happens when another procedure is performed in the same session?

The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction.

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.
