My doctor did a aspiration of left elbow hematoma. Can anyone tell me what is the cpt code for that?


Thanks in advance

MsMaddy:)
 
Isn't this code for a skin hematoma? My doc did needle aspiration w/ ultrasonic guidance of a hematoma on pt.'s gastrocnemius. The only code I can find for this tx is an i&d which is inaccuarate. Would 10160 work for muscle hematoma aspiration as well?
 
CPT allows an additional code for the fluoroscopic guidance- the note says "If imaging guidance is performed, see 76942, 77012, 77021
