About 28660: Closed treatment of toe interphalangeal dislocation
Reports closed treatment of a single toe interphalangeal joint dislocation when the clinician treats it without anesthesia and without percutaneous fixation.
This code describes closed treatment of one dislocated toe interphalangeal joint without anesthesia. A physician, podiatrist, or other qualified clinician may reduce the joint and provide immediate stabilization, such as taping or splinting, in an emergency department, office, or facility. It is distinct from treatment of a metatarsophalangeal joint dislocation, which involves the toe’s joint with the foot.
Select the code when the record supports a single interphalangeal dislocation treated closed without anesthesia; document the joint, dislocation, treatment method, and whether anesthesia or percutaneous fixation was used. Medicare includes related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period. 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. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this descriptor. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this procedure, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
