Hello, All
I have a senario that is stumping me. All are welcome to participate on the explanation. A 73-year-old male is admitted by Dr Smith for an excision of a nail and nail Matrix, complete, for permanent removal with amputation of a tuft of distal Phalanx. A 1.8 cm single pinch skin graft was needed to cover the tip of the digit. Code the Physician's Services. By code 11752 being deleted, would we code this through amputation or excision and would the pinch skin graft be coded separately? As well, would that be considered unbundling or would 11750 be the code due to the intent of the visit based on the order of detail in the scenario is excision first "with amputation" second? Then the data of the single pinch skin graft being needed to cover the tip of the digit.
