Patient came into ER with laceration of the thumb. The ER doc repaired the laceration the then applied a finger splint. Is it apprpriate to code the laceration repair along with the finger splint or is the splint included in the laceration cpt code?
Also can I code a splint application with an I&D for same location?![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
