I work for an urgent care center and we had a patient come in with a fish hook in his finger. The physician gave the patient a digital block and then used hemostats to push the fish hook through and remove it. He charged a procedure code 10121. United Health Care denied it saying the medical records did not support the code and there was a better code to use. There was not an incision made to remove the fish hook. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
