Flexor tendon debridement??
I have a question, my doctor did a flexor tendon debridement on a patients middle finger FDS and FDP due to a gun shot wound 10 days prior to the patients surgery.
The physician did not repair any tendons, he just debride them. What cpt code could I use for something like this?
The physician coded 26180 but that is for an excision of a tendon and no tendon was excised!!!
Anyone have any suggestions?
