Foot surgery

About 28202: Flexor foot tendon repair with graft

Reports operative reconstruction of a flexor tendon in the foot using a free graft when direct tendon repair alone is not performed.

This service reconstructs a flexor tendon in the foot with a free graft, such as when tendon damage or a chronic rupture leaves a defect that cannot be managed by direct repair alone. An orthopedic foot and ankle surgeon or podiatric surgeon typically performs the operation in a surgical facility. The graft is part of the reported service; this code is distinct from repair of an extensor tendon or flexor tendon repair without a graft.

Select the code when the operative report supports flexor tendon reconstruction using a graft, and document the affected tendon, injury or defect, and reconstructive work. The 90-day global period includes 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 50% multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

28202 billing questions

How is 28202 different from 28200?

28202 is for flexor tendon reconstruction with a free graft. 28200 describes flexor tendon repair without a free graft.

Can the graft be billed separately?

The graft is included in the service described by 28202. The operative documentation should support the graft-based reconstruction.

Is modifier 50 appropriate when both feet are treated?

No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code. Do not use modifier 50 to report bilateral treatment.

What postoperative care is included?

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

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?

Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made. 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.
