A fracture of the calcaneus, or heel bone, can be a painful and disabling injury. This type of fracture commonly occurs during a high-energy event — such as a car crash or a fall from a ladder — when the heel is crushed under the weight of the body. When this occurs, the heel can widen, shorten, and become deformed.
M79. 671 is the code for bilateral foot or heel pain, or pain in the right foot. M79. 672 is the code for pain in the left foot or heel.
The calcaneus, or heel bone, is a complex shaped bone located just below your ankle and extending to the back of your foot. The calcaneus not only provides support as you walk, but also connects your calf muscles to your foot.

Generally, you need a podiatric nail and callus ICD-10 code and one systemic ICD-10 code. Yes, if it is a vascular based ICD-10 code, then you would need to apply the Q7-8-9 codes as appropriate, to the podiatric code not necessarily the systemic code.
With the recent changes to some of the amputation global periods, that code has no global period anymore. If you used that code, then there would not be a need for any modifier. CPT 28810 indicates amputation of the toe and the first metatarsal… but you only removed a portion of the metatarsal, not the entire bone.
Medicare has denied our recent codes for CPT 20550 as well as CPT 64455, for plantar fascia injections and neuroma injections, stating that these are “not medically necessary.” We are having the patient sign ABNs for these so that we can collect payment, however, these codes have been covered in the past. The diagnosis codes being used include M77.51, M77.52 for CPT 20550 as well as G67.61 and G57.62 to code for neuromas. Are we doing something wrong? My biller explained to me that because I am not an anesthesiologist, Medicare is denying the codes.
