Foot surgery

About 28060: Partial plantar fascia excision

Partial plantar fasciectomy removes a portion of diseased plantar fascia, commonly for symptomatic plantar fibromatosis when operative treatment is selected.

This operation removes a segment of the plantar fascia, the strong band of tissue along the sole. Orthopedic foot-and-ankle surgeons and podiatrists commonly perform it for symptomatic plantar fibromatosis, also called Ledderhose disease, when involved fascia is excised rather than simply released. The procedure is generally performed in an operating room or ambulatory surgery setting. The operative report should make clear that fascial tissue was removed and identify the treated side and extent of excision.

Report the partial removal when the surgeon excises only part of the plantar fascia; complete removal is a different service. The record should support the indication and describe the tissue removed. 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 reduced to 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

28060 billing questions

How is 28060 different from 28062?

28060 represents removal of part of the plantar fascia. Use 28062 when the surgeon removes the fascia completely.

When is modifier 50 appropriate?

When the surgeon performs the procedure on both feet, report bilateral surgery with modifier 50. CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 150%.

What documentation supports 28060?

Document the indication, the side treated, and the operative work showing that a portion of plantar fascia was excised. The note should distinguish excision from a release incision.

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

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

How are other procedures in the same session paid?

CMS pays the highest-valued procedure in full and other procedures at 50% when performed in the same session. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted, and co-surgeons and team surgery are 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 indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
