What code would you use for removal of several ingrown hairs using a tweezers? We are torn between 10120 (removal of foreign body) and just a component of the E/M.
 
Its a component of the E&M. 10120 is incision and removal, down to subcutaneous level of a FB. Hair belongs there so its not a foreign body and provider isn't cutting and its not deep enough.
