Wiki 11730 vs 11750

[MsDean1]

Can someone please tell me what is the difference between these two codes? I have a case where the procedure done was a

Nailbed repair: removal of ingrown toe nail. The diagnosis is 681.11. I coded the procedure to the 11750. Is that correct?

Thank you

Did the physician excise the nail matrix?

If that is not specifically documented, you should be reporting 11730. It should detail that the nail abd matrix were excised.
