CPT Knowledgebase - Oct 5, 2022

Our providers like to perform arthrodesis on multiple tarsal and talus bones, sometimes talonavicular arthrodesis is included. The descriptor for code 28730 indicates multiple fusions with multiple incisions. CPT code 28740 indicates single joint. Would it be appropriate to use 28740 with a quantity or 28730 to capture all the fusion procedures performed on a single foot?
