Wiki 28285/28270

[khammaker]

28285 was performed at the IPJ for hammertoe and 28270 performed at the MPJ for add'l contracture.
Can these be reported separately because of the different joints or is the 28270 bundled into the 28285 regardless of joint and diagnosis?

Thanks!

It depends on the documentation and the diagnosis. There is a very good conversation on this topic on the Codingline through APMA.
