Podiatry Coding & Billing Alert
Cuboid Syndrome
Question: Nevada Subscriber Answer: There is also no code for manipulation of the foot in a non-fracture situation, so you will have to use an unlisted-procedure code: 28899 (Unlisted procedure, foot or toes). Send the necessary documentation to the carrier to receive payment. The Lo-dye strapping is typically bundled into the manipulation, and you should not try to receive separate reimbursement for this service.
