Provider first did a plantar fasciectomy, op note in part states " After the plantar fascia was released, the plantar calcaneus was inspected and found to not have a significant bone spur needing resection. However, rough areas of the edge of the plantar calcaneus were smoothened out with a reciprocating bone rasp." We were looking at 28119, but do not feel that is correct since code indicates "for spur". Any thoughts on a CPT code to use?
