Wiki Excision of Achilles Tendon

[mindyanna]

Hello everyone! Does anyone know the CPT code would be for the excision of the achilles tendon? The only code I keep coming up with is 27630. I could really use your expertise in this matter.

Thanks in advance!

The procedure code that i came up with is 27630,is it a repair for a rupture?

was the excision due to haglund's deformity? tenosynvitis?

The patient had an ulcer of the achilles tendon, bad enough to have to excise the tendon. I too came up with the 27630.
