About 28340: Enlarged toe reconstructive resection
Reconstructive surgery to reduce an enlarged toe, typically for macrodactyly, is reported when the surgeon removes excessive toe tissue to improve its size or function.
This procedure reduces an abnormally enlarged toe by surgically removing excess tissue as part of reconstructing the toe. A foot and ankle surgeon, orthopedic surgeon, or podiatric surgeon may perform it for macrodactyly or another documented condition causing substantial toe enlargement. The operative report should identify the affected toe, the enlargement being treated, and the reconstructive work performed.
Report the service when the operative work addresses enlargement of the toe, rather than an isolated angular deformity or a bone-alignment problem. Documentation should support the condition and the extent of the resection. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period: the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included. 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. Do not append modifier 50; the descriptor or anatomy makes a bilateral adjustment inappropriate. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

28340 billing questions
When should this code be selected instead of a toe deformity repair code?
Use this code when the operative goal is reducing an enlarged toe through resection. A code for angular deformity repair is more appropriate when the work corrects toe alignment rather than enlargement.
Does the 90-day global period include postoperative care?
Yes. It includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
Can modifier 50 be used when both feet are treated?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code because of its descriptor or anatomy.
How are other procedures performed in the same session paid?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction.
Can an assistant surgeon or co-surgeon be reported?
Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
