Foot surgery

About 28262: Extensive midfoot capsular release

Report this procedure for an extensive surgical release of contracted midfoot structures, such as correction of a rigid residual clubfoot deformity.

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.

28262 billing questions

How is 28262 distinguished from 28260?

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.

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

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.
