Hello all.

Question on suprapubic tube granulation, should I bill as a higher office visit or is there a procedure code. please see dictation below

After verbal informed consent was obtained, the patient was placed supine, washed with Betadine, and I utilized 3.0 mL of 2% lidocaine plain injected around the inferior base of the suprapubic tube region. I next used electrocauterization to excise the granulation tissue. It was carefully cauterized and we reduced the region down to a contoured site.

Thank-you for all your help and guidance.
 
One will need to know the size of the specimen removed and relate to codes 11420 to 11426 depending on the lesion size removed. Consult with the surgeon.
