Wiki Billing CPT code 28805-2 different Toes

[kphillipe]

I know you need to use the modifier to identify the correct toes. Do I also need to add an additional modifier such as 51 or 59 in order to get both of them paid? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

28805 is one unit no matter how many toes are involved. Transmetatarsal = Amputation of all toes at the metatarsals.


Here is an AAPC article about foot/toe amputations

I also found this article from Podiatry Management Online
