About 28666: Toe interphalangeal dislocation reduction with manipulation

Closed reduction of a dislocated toe interphalangeal joint with manipulation under anesthesia, reported when the documented treatment meets both requirements.

This service realigns a dislocated interphalangeal (IP) joint in a toe by manipulating it externally while the patient receives anesthesia. Orthopedic surgeons, podiatrists, and other qualified clinicians may perform the reduction in a facility setting, such as an operating room or emergency department. The treatment is closed; it does not involve surgically exposing the joint.

Select this code when the documentation identifies an IP joint dislocation and supports both manipulation and the need for anesthesia. Record the affected toe and joint, the dislocation, the closed reduction performed, and the anesthesia requirement. Medicare assigns a 10-day minor-procedure global period, which includes related postoperative visits during that period. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to a 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery; co-surgeons are permitted, while team surgery is not permitted.

28666 billing questions

How does 28666 differ from 28665?

Use 28666 when the closed reduction involves manipulation under anesthesia. Code 28665 describes treatment requiring anesthesia without the manipulation specified for 28666.

Can 28666 be used for a dislocation at the base of the toe?

Only when the dislocated joint is an interphalangeal joint. A metatarsophalangeal joint dislocation is a different site and belongs to the applicable MTP code family.

Should modifier 50 be reported for dislocations on both feet?

No. CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply to this code, and modifier 50 is inappropriate.

Are related postoperative visits separately included?

Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included in the procedure's global package.

Can an assistant-at-surgery service be paid with 28666?

No. CMS lists a statutory restriction on assistant-at-surgery payment for this code. Co-surgeons are permitted, but team surgery is not.
