About 28665: Closed toe interphalangeal dislocation treatment

Closed treatment of a toe interphalangeal joint dislocation when the procedure requires anesthesia, reported for reduction without open surgical repair.

This service treats a dislocated joint between the phalanges of a toe by closed reduction, without opening the joint for surgical repair. It is distinct from treatment of a metatarsophalangeal dislocation at the base of a toe. Orthopedic physicians, podiatrists, and other clinicians qualified to manage toe injuries may perform the reduction in an emergency department, office, or operating or procedure room, depending on the circumstances and need for anesthesia.

Report the code when the treated joint is interphalangeal and anesthesia is required for the closed treatment. The record should identify the affected toe and joint, document the dislocation and closed reduction, and support the anesthetic requirement. Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period 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. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

28665 billing questions

How does this differ from 28660?

Both address closed treatment of an interphalangeal joint dislocation. Use 28665 when anesthesia is required; 28660 is the counterpart for treatment without anesthesia.

When would 28666 be considered instead?

28666 is the related interphalangeal-joint treatment code when manipulation requiring anesthesia is performed. Document the treatment and manipulation to support code selection.

Can this code be used for a dislocation at the base of a toe?

No. The base-of-toe metatarsophalangeal joint is a different site; 28665 concerns an interphalangeal joint between toe bones.

Are follow-up visits separately reported during the global period?

Related postoperative visits for 10 days are included in the global period for this minor procedure.

Can modifier 50 be used when more than one toe is treated?

No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code. Report the service based on the treatment performed and applicable claim instructions.

What documentation supports 28665?

Document the affected toe and interphalangeal joint, the dislocation, the closed treatment performed, and why anesthesia was required.
