I have a patient that came to the ER with a open fx of the tuft of the finger with a nail avultion. The provider states that he removes the nail and repairs the laceration underneath and then reattached the the nail bed to close the laceration of the finger also. Is the nail bed repaire the only code that should be done or the removal of the nail be coded? I feel that the nail bed repair would be the way to go but would like some other opinions.
