Wiki cpt 25210

[Rufus186]

Can you use cpt 25210 for a partial carpectomy? Thanks

Since it's a partial, maybe bill with a -52?

Anyone else have some input?

How many of the bones were removed? 25210 is for one (allows up to 2 units). 25215 is for a proximal row (I believe 4 bones = 1 unit?).

What is the reason it was done? 25145 might be an option. Or was it possibly done as part of a larger procedure?

Thanks everyone for you input. The pt had a CMC Arthroplasty cpt 25447 with the trapezium removed (incl in 25447) also a partcial removal of the trapezoid. I am questioning if cpt 25210 can be coded as well for the trapezoid partcial removal?
