Suture removal

Can someone give me a code for excision of suture granuloma of a finger. I have researched and can not find anything.

No code for suture removal without anesthesia, only 99024 within 90 day global period, exceed 90 days bill E/M,
with anesthesia bill

There are codes to report removal of sutures under anesthesia (other than local) for either the same surgeon (CPT 15850) or other surgeon (15851)

Hope this will be useful

A suture granuloma removal would be coded as a foreign body removal: CPT 10120 dx: L92.3

Thanks so much. I thought this might be what I should use but I wasn't sure.

You may want to look at 20520 and 20525 also.
