Wiki Hardware removal through two incisions

[kathymarks]

Hi,
I have a physician removing implants from the ankle necessitating two separate incisions both on the lateral and medial sides. Is 20680 billed by body part or number of incisions? Should one or two units be billed in this case? Thanks, Kathy

separate incisions; 20680, 20680,59. The maximum is two that you can bill for.
