Recently our provider saw a child in the ER that had his finger stuck in a metal pipe. Our provider had to cut the metal pipe while the child was under anesthesia in order to free his finger from the pipe. Does anyone know what CPT code we should use for this situation? The provider only cleaned a small abrasion on the finger after the pipe was removed the main part of the procedure was removing the pipe. I have included the entire note below. Thank you for your help
