Is there a CPT code for excision of infected umbilicus/urachus ? The surgeon gave me the report and procedures that were done were excision of infected umbilicus /urachus and repair of umbilical hernia. Please advise on the excision code.

Thank you,

Crystal
 
I just coded one of these today! Pretty rare. I believe I used 51500, found in the urology section of the CPT book. I'm at home, so I don't have my CPT handy, but that sounds right.
