Wiki Multiple Deep Sutures in Tendon Removal

[apoland]

I have a physician who removed 3 deep tendon sutures and wants to bill x3 20525. I feel because there is 1 incision we should only be billing 1 unit. Can someone help confirm with me what the appropriate units should be?
Thank you!

I could not find any guidance on this re one incision vs multiple units. I am curious to know what others think on this. I'm tempted to go with the provider only because the code says body and not body(ies) ???
