Hello all!

I am trying to find out if there is a separate CPT code to bill for the removal of an infected nose ring. This is in an Urgent Care setting. My physician used a ring cutter to remove the jewelry from the nose and it was extremely infected. Can we bill for this outside of the regular E/M or is it included?

I would be very grateful for any help I can get!

Thank you!
