Foot surgery
About 28250: Foot fascia revision
Reports surgical revision of foot fascia, typically the plantar fascia, when operative treatment is needed for an abnormal or restrictive fascial band.
A foot and ankle orthopedic surgeon or podiatric surgeon revises or releases fascia in the foot, most often the plantar fascia, to address an abnormal or restrictive fascial band. The service is performed in an operative setting and involves direct surgical work on fascia rather than repair or release of a tendon or joint capsule.
Select this code when the operative report supports revision of foot fascia; document the treated site, side, indication, and work performed. The code has a 90-day global period, including 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 at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

28250 billing questions
How is this different from a plantar fasciectomy?
This code represents revision of foot fascia. Codes 28060 and 28062 describe partial and radical plantar fasciectomy, respectively, so choose based on the documented procedure and extent.
Can this be reported with a foot tendon procedure?
The fascia work and tendon work involve different structures. Report both only when the operative documentation supports distinct, separately performed procedures and applicable coding rules permit it.
What documentation supports this code?
Document the fascial site and side, the condition treated, and the specific revision or release performed. The report should distinguish fascial work from tendon repair or joint-capsule release.
How does the global period affect postoperative visits?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during the 90 days after surgery.
How are bilateral and multiple procedures handled?
Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
