Non-healing Wound ICD-10
I’m a newbie plastics coder and still learning. Are muscle flaps coded to the recipient site or by the donor site?
Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block
Prior to 2025 we had been instructed to code a Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block to 64999? What is the best CPT code for a PENG block in 2025?
Skin Cancer Screening
I see a number of patients with chronic problems such as dermatitis, psoriasis, history of skin cancer and acne to name a few. What defines stable versus exacerbation or progression?
Stent and Atherectomy in the Femoral and Popliteal Arteries
If a stent is placed in the common femoral artery and an atherectomy is performed in the popliteal artery, can both codes be billed?
Tongue Lesion
My physician coded a glossectomy but the documentation in the operative report indicated that a tongue lesion was removed. He wants to code 41120 for the glossectomy. I don’t think this meets the definition of a Glossectomy since there was no mention in the operative report that a portion of the tongue was removed.
E&M and Injections: Is this billable?
Our surgeon documented co-planing of the AC joint/distal clavicle. The diagnosis is bone spurs. Does this work support CPT code 29824, arthroscopic distal claviculectomy?
