Hello everyone - I am in need of assistance of a code for sternal wire removal (four years post op CABG). Op notes state "incision was made thru the skin and subcutaneous tissue. The offending underlying wire was identified and removed. A wire just above this was also removed, no signs of infection"
DX: painful sternal wire
I found 20670 but I am really questioning it being this code is in the musculoskeletal system???
Any comments are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Amie
