I have heard many people say it is or is not a bunionectomy coding, how do I know how to bill the 1st metatarsal-cuneiform fusion without any metatarsal head surgery? What happens when I do a bump removal of the first metatarsal head besides the arthrodesis proximally?

A 1st metatarsal-tarsal arthrodesis single joint procedure is just that it is CPT 28740. If you do the bunionectomy with the 1st metatarsal-tarsal arthrodesis procedure "any method" it is coded as CPT 28297.
