About 28630: Closed reduction of toe interphalangeal dislocation
Reports closed reduction of a single toe interphalangeal joint dislocation when the provider restores alignment without anesthesia.
This service is the closed reduction of a dislocated toe interphalangeal joint, such as a proximal or distal joint, without anesthesia. An orthopedic surgeon, podiatrist, or other qualified clinician may perform the reduction in an office, emergency department, or other acute-care setting. The joint is realigned without opening the site; open repair is a different service. The code is for one interphalangeal joint, not a metatarsophalangeal joint or a foot-joint dislocation.
Document the affected toe and joint, the dislocation, and the closed reduction performed without anesthesia. Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, Medicare pays the highest-valued procedure in full and reduces the others by 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

28630 billing questions

No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code. The descriptor or anatomy does not support modifier 50.
What documentation supports reporting 28630?
Record the dislocated toe interphalangeal joint and the closed reduction performed without anesthesia. The documentation should distinguish this service from an MTP joint reduction or open repair.
Are follow-up visits included?
Related postoperative visits for 10 days are included in the global period.
How does Medicare handle other procedures performed in the same session?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures are reduced by 50%. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
