Thank you.

You know the answer. Another thing to think about is what ICD.10 code would you link to the CPT code? Since the tendon has no pathology...

If that was the only reason you are correct. There really was no tendon problem in addition (tendinitis, etc.)? Usually there's other problems going on with that.
