Please help - Local wound exploration of abdomen with excision and fulguration of non healing granulation tissue.

I thought 20102 would be a start but would that code cover the excision and fulguration of the non healing tissue?

Thank you for your help!
 
that code is related to wound(s) resulting from penetration trauma. I have the same problem. I'm just not sure on those type of procedures. The last one I had did have a old suture in the wound so I used the removal of foreign body subq complicated 10121.
 
Thank you for your help - I understand that 20102 is for trauma penetration but I just dont know where else to look. There is no FB so I can't use that. I'm lost on this - Thank you again ! Does anyone else have any suggestions ?
