Wiki sternoclavicular joint

[jewlz0879]

Please help. I am trying to determine which code to use because I can't find exactly what I am looking for.

Debridement with resection of sternoclavicular joint.

I was thinking 23101 but it says nothing about debridement.

Any suggestions, are greatly appreciated.

Hi Julie...
Excisional debridement of soft tissue is inclusive per CCI edits.
