About 28575: Closed toe interphalangeal dislocation reduction
Reports closed reduction of a single toe interphalangeal joint dislocation when manipulation is performed and anesthesia is required.
This code covers closed treatment of a dislocated joint between the bones of one toe, using manipulation to restore alignment when anesthesia is required. An orthopedic surgeon, podiatrist, or other qualified physician may perform the reduction, commonly in a hospital or ambulatory surgery setting. The service is distinct from treating a metatarsophalangeal or tarsometatarsal dislocation, which involves a different joint.
Report one unit for the treated interphalangeal joint. Documentation should identify the affected toe and joint, describe the dislocation and manipulation, and support the anesthesia requirement. 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% reduction. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. An assistant at surgery is paid only when medical necessity is documented; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

28575 billing questions
When should 28575 be selected instead of 28570?
Use 28575 for a single toe interphalangeal dislocation treated with manipulation when anesthesia is required. Code 28570 is the related closed-treatment option without manipulation.
Does this code cover a dislocation at the base of the toe?
No. This code concerns an interphalangeal joint within one toe. A metatarsophalangeal or tarsometatarsal dislocation involves a different joint and should be evaluated under the code for that site.
Is the reduction included in this service?
Yes. The closed manipulation to restore the single interphalangeal joint is the procedure represented by the code; do not separately report that same reduction.
What documentation supports reporting 28575?
Document the affected toe and interphalangeal joint, the dislocation, the manipulation performed, and why anesthesia was required.
How is bilateral treatment reported?
For qualifying treatment on both sides, CMS lists bilateral reporting with modifier 50 and payment at 150%. Documentation should identify the treated joint on each side.
Can an assistant surgeon or co-surgeon be reported?
An assistant at surgery is paid only with documentation of medical necessity. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted for this code.
