What 28515 covers
This service covers closed treatment of a fracture in one or more phalanges of a toe other than the great toe, with manipulation to reduce or realign the fracture. Orthopedic surgeons, podiatrists, and other clinicians who manage acute fractures may perform it in an office, emergency department, or facility. The fracture is treated without open surgical exposure; the manipulation is the feature that distinguishes this service from closed treatment without manipulation.
Report the code for each treated fracture, supporting the record with the affected toe and side, fracture findings, and the reduction or other manipulation performed. Routine related care during the 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit, is included. 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% multiple-procedure reduction. CMS does not apply a bilateral adjustment, and modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment is statutorily restricted; co-surgeons and team surgery are 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.

28515 billing questions
How does this differ from 28510?
28515 is for closed treatment with manipulation. Use 28510 when the lesser-toe phalanx fracture is treated without manipulation.
Can this code be used for a great toe fracture?
No. This code is for toes other than the great toe; 28495 describes closed treatment with manipulation of a great-toe fracture.
What should the documentation show?
Document the lesser toe and side, the phalangeal fracture treated, and the manipulation or reduction performed. The record should distinguish the service from treatment without manipulation.
Is routine follow-up separately reported?
Related postoperative care during the 90-day global period is included, along with the day-before preoperative visit.
Should modifier 50 be reported for fractures on both feet?
No. CMS identifies modifier 50 as inappropriate for this code, and a bilateral adjustment does not apply.
How are other procedures in the same session paid?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full; other procedures 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.
