A parenthetical note under code 27640 states, “For exostosis excision, use 27635” (Excision or curettage of bone cyst or benign tumor, tibia or fibula). Can it be inferred that these codes may be used for any excision of exostosis or does the surgeon have to have docu-mented that the patient had a bone cyst or benign tumor?

ICD-10-CM Code for Fracture of calcaneus S92. 0.
M77. 3 - Calcaneal spur. ICD-10-CM.
ICD-10 code: M85. 89 Other specified disorders of bone density and structure Site unspecified.
The calcaneus (heel bone) is the largest of the tarsal bones in the foot. It lies at the back of the foot (hindfoot) below the three bones that make up the ankle joint. These three bones are the: Tibia (shinbone) Fibula (smaller bone in the lower leg)
On the lateral side is commonly a tubercle called the calcaneal tubercle (or trochlear process). This is a raised projection located between the tendons of the peroneus longus and brevis. It separates the two oblique grooves of the lateral surface of the calcaneus (for the tendons of the peroneal muscles).
Pain on the back of the heel if often caused by an overgrowth of bone on the back of the heel bone (calcaneus). This is called a retrocalcaneal exostosis. Retrocalcaneal exostosis problems are often related to chronic tugging of a tight Achilles tendon on the back of the heel.
Introduction. Calcaneal spur, also known as enthesophyte, is an abnormal bone outgrowth at the inferior part of the calcaneus, from the site of the fibrocartilaginous attachment, specifically the plantar fascia ligament, which is the most common site of a bony spur [1,2].
Enthesopathy of the foot This is the tissue under your foot arch. It can also affect your calcaneus, or heel bone. This pain usually happens because the enthesis of your plantar fascia has thickened. This can cause pain in your heel and around your foot arch when you walk or put stress on your foot.
ICD-10 code M85. 80 for Other specified disorders of bone density and structure, unspecified site is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Osteopathies and chondropathies .
For example, Z12. 31 (Encounter for screening mammogram for malignant neoplasm of breast) is the correct code to use when you are ordering a routine mammogram for a patient. However, coders are coming across many routine mammogram orders that use Z12.
Osteoporosis is a bone disease that develops when bone mineral density and bone mass decreases, or when the quality or structure of bone changes. This can lead to a decrease in bone strength that can increase the risk of fractures (broken bones).
ICD-10 Code for Unspecified fracture of right calcaneus, initial encounter for closed fracture- S92. 001A- Codify by AAPC.
M79. 673 – is the code for pain in an unspecified foot or heel. M79. 671 is the code for bilateral foot or heel pain, or pain in the right foot.
Calcaneal osteotomy is an extra-articular, joint-sparing procedure that is used in the correction of cavovarus and planovalgus foot deformity. Careful indications and contraindications for the procedure, with meticulous surgical technique, should be followed to avoid complications and to achieve optimal outcomes.
M79. 672 Pain in left foot - ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes.
An exostosis is a benign tumor; therefore, it is appropriate to report code 27635, Excision or curettage of bone cyst or benign tumor, tibia or fibula.
I know this is just a tad late but in 2010 coding for exostosis removal changed to those in the bone cyst range.
I would use the 28122- I was taught "bossing" is same as exostosis.#N#You will have to pick your codes- then look to see if codes are included with each other (under medicare or commercial)#N#my orthopaedic dictionary definition for bossing (28122) is "rounded prominence of bone that is abnormally visible under the skin" - exostosis " excess bone formation"#N#It may not necessarily be "visible" but they are both bony prominences.#N#I would think 28122 would be most appropriate, I would not code something the doc specifically says is an exostosis, as a tumor or cyst.#N#Sounds good right?
Exostosis is NOT the same as a bone cyst/benign tumor. I read somewhere years ago the same thing you mentioned - 'bossing' should point you to 'removal of bone or excess bone' as in 'part of the bone' as in 28122. BUT - look at the CPT section for leg and ankle joints.
