What 28262 covers

This operation releases tight soft tissues around the midfoot joints to improve a fixed deformity or restricted position. An orthopedic foot and ankle surgeon or podiatric surgeon may perform it in an operating room, including for a rigid residual deformity after clubfoot treatment. The operative report should identify the midfoot joints and contracted structures addressed and describe why the release was extensive rather than a more limited capsular release.

Report 28262 when the documented work supports an extensive midfoot release; do not select it solely because the procedure is described generally as a foot release. The service has 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 procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple procedure reduction. For bilateral work, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeon payment requires 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.

28262 billing questions

How is 28262 distinguished from 28260?

28262 is for an extensive midfoot release. Use 28260 when the documented midfoot capsular release is less extensive.

What documentation supports reporting 28262?

Document the affected midfoot joints, the contracted structures released, the extent of the release, and the fixed deformity or restriction being treated.

Can modifier 50 be reported for bilateral surgery?

CMS identifies this as a bilateral procedure; bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%.

How does the 90-day global period affect postoperative billing?

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

How are assistant or co-surgeon services handled?

Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.

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.
