Wiki Subtalar joint implant

[codedog]

Doctor wants to do a subtalar joint implant with cpt code 28725. I dont that is the code . . . Seen A few sights on internet that say use unliosted. Would thisbe correct ?. Does anyone have know or have info on this,that way I can talk to the doctor about this. Want to make sure this gets paid right. Its A BLUE CROSS patient also, SO hopefully I can bill the implant code.

I don't know which implant you're using, but Wright Medical has a code it wright info sheet that might help. You will definitely want to get this precertified before you do this procedure.
