A patient came into the ER and had an amputation of finger pad and distal half of fingernail of right middle finger.
The ER provider performed a completion of the amputation.
Soaked in hibiclens water. I anesthetized his finger with a digital block of 0.5% marcaine and some additional marcaine at the injured site,
total 8mL used. Patient did have some discomfort with injection but denied pain after. . Using
10-blade scalpal, I finished the amputation through the 2-3mm of skin/subQ tissue on the pad side of the finger
Not sure what to use for CPT code possible 11730 or unlisted ?
Thanks
