About 28570: Closed tarsal dislocation care

Reports closed care of a dislocated tarsal bone when the provider treats the injury without manipulating the bone.

This code describes closed management of a dislocated tarsal bone when the provider does not manipulate the bone. An orthopedic surgeon or podiatrist may provide this care in a hospital or other setting, with immobilization and related management as clinically appropriate. The injured bone and the dislocation should be identified in the record; a dislocation of the tarsometatarsal joint belongs to a different code group.

Choose this service based on the treatment performed, not solely on the diagnosis: documentation should support closed care without manipulation. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. For bilateral treatment, 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.

For bilateral treatment, report modifier 50; CMS pays the procedure at 150% under the stated bilateral rule.
