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

What 28436 covers

An orthopedic surgeon, commonly specializing in foot and ankle surgery, uses manipulation to reduce a talus fracture and places skeletal fixation percutaneously through the skin. The procedure stabilizes the fracture without open exposure of the fracture site. It is typically performed in a surgical facility for a fracture requiring both reduction and fixation.

Report this code when the operative documentation supports manipulation and percutaneous skeletal fixation of the talus; closed manipulation alone or open fixation describes a different service. 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. For bilateral procedures, modifier 50 results in payment at 150%. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service, and co-surgeon and team-surgery billing are not permitted.
