Removal of Foreign Object From Foot, Complicated

Nationwide rates for HCPCS 28193

This procedure removes an object embedded in the foot, such as a splinter, glass, or metal fragment, when the object is deeply lodged or the removal is more involved than a simple office procedure. It typically requires an incision and careful dissection to locate and extract the material, sometimes because it is near a tendon, bone, or nerve. Anesthesia and a short recovery period are usually needed.
