What 28113 covers

This service removes the head of a third, fourth, or fifth metatarsal. Foot and ankle surgeons and podiatrists may perform it for a painful prominence, deformity, or pressure problem such as a recurrent ulcer beneath the affected metatarsal head. The operative report should identify the bone and side, describe the extent of bone removed, and explain the clinical indication. A procedure that reshapes the bone without removing the head is a different service.

Report this code when the documented work is complete excision of one of these metatarsal heads, rather than partial removal of the fifth metatarsal head or excision of a different metatarsal. It has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. For bilateral surgery, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documentation of medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

28113 billing questions

How does this differ from code 28110?

This code is for complete excision of a third, fourth, or fifth metatarsal head. Code 28110 describes partial excision of the fifth metatarsal head.

What documentation supports reporting this code?

Document the affected side and metatarsal, the reason for surgery, and that the metatarsal head was completely excised. The operative report should distinguish this work from a partial resection or an osteotomy.

Are related postoperative visits included?

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

How is bilateral surgery reported?

Use modifier 50 for a bilateral procedure; CMS pays it at 150%.

Can an assistant surgeon or co-surgeon be paid?

Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documentation of medical necessity. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

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 50% 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.
