We have a new sports medicine guy joining our group. One of the procedures he does is evacuation of subungual hematomas. I have the CPT code 11740 for the procedure, but am unsure of billing guidelines for this. Does anyone know if it is separately billable or would it be bundled with the E/M?
 
This would be the same as any other minor procedure, as long as the documentation supports billing both you can bill with modifier 25 on the E/M
