What it is
This bunion surgery corrects a big toe that points toward the other toes by cutting and shifting the end of the first metatarsal bone near the toe joint, usually fixing it with a screw or pin. It is done for a painful bunion that does not improve with shoe changes or padding.
What the price covers
The facility price covers the operating room and recovery; screws or plates may be listed as separate supplies. The surgeon, anesthesia and post-surgery shoe or boot are usually billed separately.
Why prices differ
Prices differ between hospital outpatient departments and surgery centers, and with the surgical technique and implants used.
What to ask
Ask whether the self-pay price for CPT 28296 includes implants, anesthesia and the surgeon's fee, and whether it covers one foot only.

Common questions
Are there different bunion surgery codes?
Yes. Codes differ by where the bone is cut or fused, for example 28297 for a fusion near the middle of the foot, so the planned technique matters.
How long is recovery?
People usually wear a surgical shoe or boot for several weeks, and full recovery can take a few months.
