About 28047: Foot or toe tumor resection, 3 cm or larger
Reports operative resection of a foot or toe soft-tissue tumor measuring 3 cm or larger, rather than a smaller lesion or limited excision.
This code describes operative removal of a soft-tissue tumor in the foot or toe when the tumor measures at least 3 cm. It may be performed by an orthopedic foot and ankle surgeon or podiatrist in a hospital or ambulatory surgery setting. Examples include resection of a sizable mass arising in the plantar foot or toe; the operative report should establish the site, tumor dimensions, and extent of removal.
Select this code based on the documented tumor size and the resection performed, distinguishing it from smaller resection and layer-specific excision codes. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. For bilateral reporting with modifier 50, payment is at 150%. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

28047 billing questions
How does this code differ from 28046?
Both describe resection of a foot or toe soft-tissue tumor. Use 28047 for a tumor measuring 3 cm or larger; 28046 is for one under 3 cm.
Should a layer-specific excision code be used instead?
Compare the documented procedure with codes 28039, 28041, 28043, and 28045, which describe tumor excision by tissue plane and size. The operative report should support the procedure and selection criteria, not just the diagnosis.
What documentation supports reporting 28047?
Document the foot or toe site, tumor dimensions of at least 3 cm, and the operative resection performed. A pathology diagnosis alone does not establish the operative size or extent.
How is modifier 50 handled for bilateral procedures?
CMS identifies this as a bilateral procedure; when reported with modifier 50, payment is at 150%.
What happens when another procedure is performed in the same session?
Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the other procedures are paid at 50%. The code has a 90-day global period that includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care for 90 days.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
An assistant at surgery may be paid. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team surgery is 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.
