Wiki Excision of chronic umbilical wound infection

[tldixon@mokancomm.net]

How would you code the Excision of a chronic umbilical wound infection with a sinus tract?
I have selected 11470 and 12032...
I could use some help on this one...
Thanks

You might want to double check with your surgeon to make sure it was not a urachal cyst , if so, 51500 may be appropriate...just a suggestion
