I need help coding this scenario: Patient comes to the EC with a partial ring finger amputation due to concrete falling on his finger at work. The ED M.D. gives the patient a digital block (CPT code 64417) which immediately relieves the pain of the partial amputation ring finger and he then places one suture to stop the bleeding per the notes. Do I code the 64417 and/or the suture that was placed to stop the bleeding? I'm at a loss...can anyone help?
