About 28360: Cleft foot reconstruction
Reconstructs a congenital cleft foot by surgically correcting the split-foot deformity, typically during operative treatment of a structural birth anomaly.
This major operation corrects a congenital cleft foot, also called split foot or ectrodactyly. An orthopedic or podiatric surgeon reconstructs the affected foot’s structure; the specific work depends on the patient’s anatomy and the deformity being addressed. The service is generally performed in an operating room, often as part of planned treatment for a congenital foot abnormality. The operative report should identify the cleft-foot diagnosis and describe the reconstruction performed.
Report 28360 for the cleft-foot reconstruction itself, rather than a procedure directed only at an extra toe, webbed toes, or an isolated toe deformity. 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. For bilateral surgery, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
