new coder needs help with PIP reduction

[rhblevins61@yahoo.com]

Need help with CPT(s) for the following procedure: reduction of finger PIP dislocation.

ER dictated note reads: The finer ws anesthetized with digital block one percent plain lidocaine and the dislocation ws reduced easily.

Thanks for any help.

Look at 26770. You may need the HCPCS Level II modifier to identify the finger. 26770 has a 90 day global so append modifier -54 for surgical care only.

For the E/M service with supporting documentation, append modifier -57.
