What 28455 covers

This code describes closed treatment of a tarsal bone fracture with manipulation to improve alignment, without open exposure or percutaneous skeletal fixation. Typical examples include manipulated fractures of the navicular, cuboid, or a cuneiform; calcaneus and talus fractures have separate codes. Orthopedic surgeons and podiatrists commonly provide this treatment in an office, emergency department, or hospital setting, followed by immobilization and fracture follow-up.

Report one unit for each tarsal bone treated, supported by documentation identifying the fracture site and the reduction or manipulation performed. Choose the code based on the bone and treatment method: manipulation distinguishes this service from closed treatment without manipulation, while fixation or open treatment points to other codes. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
