I am getting conflicting info and lots of push back from my practice admin as to which circ code is the most appropriate.
Dr performed a circ in office to an adult using a dorsal and ring block, dorsal slit and bell device. I thought it would be54150. Doc chose 54161 and practice admin says this is correct because the insurance states 54150 is for neonates. I looked at CPT Assistant and that states this changed in 2007 to remove the age requirement but if you look in the index it does say neonate. So I don't know which would be appropriate. The patient is self pay. Here's the provider documentation:

Any help is appreciated, I'm just confused....
