Hello,

We are trying to put a precert request in, but not sure on the exact code. The physician only states what I put in the Title. I pulled an office note and he dictates he wants to remove a bone fragment and explore.

Would the CPT be 24101?


Thanks in advance,

Kim
 
I would say either the one you chose or 24358 which says an incision is made over the lateral epicondyle of the humerus, and removes (debrides) damaged soft tissue or bone.
