I billed 28800, Chopart amputation, because I resected the 1st metatarsal all way back to medial cuneiform cartilage and then remodified the 2nd-5th metatarsal resections to re-establish a better parabola. I had billed this as a CPT 28800, but now the insurance reviewed my operative report and denied the claim, why?

The surgery was a revision of a TMA not a midtarsal amputation, so CPT 28800 was incorrectly billed. If it is truly a revision TMA, then bill that as CPT 28805 , as it is not a TN Chopart amputation CPT 28800.
