What 28153 covers

A podiatrist or orthopedic foot and ankle surgeon may perform this procedure to remove part of a toe bone causing a painful prominence or pressure problem. The operation removes bone while leaving the rest of the toe in place; it is distinct from removing an entire toe. It is typically performed in an operating room or ambulatory surgery setting, with the operative report identifying the toe and the bone removed.

Report the code when the documented procedure matches partial toe-bone excision, not removal of a soft-tissue lesion or complete toe-bone excision. The note should support the indication, site, and extent of bone removal. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, which includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during that period. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate; assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

28153 billing questions

How is this different from complete toe-bone removal?

This code represents partial removal, with bone remaining in the toe. Use a complete-excision code when the operative report documents removal of the entire specified bone.

What documentation supports reporting this code?

Document the toe and bone treated, the reason for surgery, and the extent of bone removed. The operative report should make clear that the excision was partial.

Can modifier 50 be used for both feet?

No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code. The descriptor or anatomy does not support modifier 50.

How does the 90-day global period affect follow-up visits?

The day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during the 90-day period are included in the global surgery package.

Can an assistant surgeon or co-surgeon be reported?

Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code. 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 in that session 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.
