Large Foot Or Toe Soft Tissue Growth Removal

Colorado rates for HCPCS 28039

This procedure surgically removes a soft-tissue tumor located just beneath the skin of the foot or a toe, without reaching into the deeper muscle layer. It applies to a growth on the larger end of the size range treated this way, as opposed to a smaller growth handled under a related, smaller-threshold version. The removed tissue is generally sent to a lab to determine what it is.
