Foot surgery
About 28055: Intrinsic foot muscle nerve resection
Reports surgical removal of a nerve serving intrinsic foot musculature when that nerve is the operative target, rather than an interdigital neuroma.
This procedure removes a nerve associated with the intrinsic muscles of the foot. It is performed by a foot and ankle surgeon, such as an orthopedic surgeon or podiatrist, when the operative plan targets that nerve for a focal nerve-related problem. The operative report should identify the nerve and side and describe the surgical work performed. This is distinct from removing an interdigital neuroma, which has its own code.
Report the service for the nerve resection actually performed, supported by the surgeon’s diagnosis and operative findings. Medicare treats it as major surgery: the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included. When other procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction. For bilateral surgery, modifier 50 results in payment at 150%. An assistant is paid only when medical necessity is documented; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
