Resetting A Broken Heel Bone Without Surgery

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 28405

A broken heel bone is guided back into better position by hand, without opening the skin, and then held in a cast, splint or boot. Numbing medicine or sedation is given so the bone can be moved. X-rays confirm the new position and follow-up visits check that it holds while the bone knits.
