Nonsurgical Treatment of a Broken Heel Bone

Alabama rates for HCPCS 28400

This treats a fracture of the calcaneus, the heel bone, without any incision or surgery. It's used when the bone fragments are already in an acceptable position, so treatment consists of immobilizing the foot, often with a cast and limits on putting weight on it, while the bone heals.
