what are you coding for incison & removal of foreign body - when no foreign body is found.
pt stepped on toothpick she thinks - she was able to remove a portion of it herself. she followed up in office aprox 3 weeks later with pain/redness, my doc did procedure 10120 except he could not find any other portions of foreign body.
would you still bill 10120 ? what dx ?
thanks!
