I am trying to find the appropriate CPT code to use for debridement, repair, draining of a finger (partial tip amputation.) Thank you.
 
I would use code:

13131 (Repair, complex, forehead, cheeks, chin, mouth, neck, genitalia, hands and/or feet; 1.1 cm to 2.5 cm.

This code will capture the debridement, repair and since the body part needed draining, that sounds like infection which would make this procedure complex.
