Hello,
Could someone let me know please if the following CPT codes would be appropriate to use for this procedure?
28289, 28114

Left 1st Metatarsal Cheilectomy and proximal phalanx ostectomy with application of Cartica implant in the first metatarsal.

Thank you in advance for your help,
Ania

28291

I would use 28291 for the Cheilectomy and implant per information I received from the manufacturer. I don't think 28114 (Ostectomy, complete excision; all metatarsal heads, with partial proximal phalangectomy, excluding first metatarsal) is correct from the information you provided.

Thank you very much!
So would you say that ostectomy would be included in the main code, which is 28291?
