Patient presented to the ED with a dehis of her C-Section incision. The dehis was repaired in the ED with a simple closure. I thought there was a code in the Maternity Care and Delivery section of CPT for this specific repair. Please advise. Thank you!
 
I don't see a CPT for this under Maternity care either. I would use 12020 Treatment of superficial wound dehiscence; simple closure.
