Foot surgery

About 28760: Great toe joint arthrodesis

Reports surgical fusion of a great toe joint, performed to stabilize or correct a painful or deformed toe when arthrodesis is the chosen treatment.

An orthopedic or podiatric surgeon surgically prepares the surfaces of a great toe joint for fusion and stabilizes the toe, often with fixation, so the bones heal together. The operation may address painful arthritis, deformity, or instability when preserving motion is not the treatment goal. It is generally performed in an operating room or ambulatory surgery setting; the operative report should identify the joint treated and the work performed.

Report this code when the documented operation matches the great toe joint fusion service, rather than a fusion of another foot joint or a different great toe procedure. The operative note should support the indication, treated site, arthrodesis, and any fixation. 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 others at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
