I have a surgery for the release of the 6th compartment extensor tendon, which is on the side of the small digit. Cannot use cpt code 25000 because that is for the 1st compartment on the other side of the wrist. Below is the part of the surgery. What about 25295?
Below is the definition of 25000:
The physician incises the extensor tendon sheath over the wrist. The physician incises the skin just proximal to the anatomic snuffbox. The tissues are dissected and the extensor retinaculum of the first extensor compartment is identified and incised. The incision is sutured in layers.
