Wiki Help Excision Soft Tissue Mass Finget

[Jocopoco53]

The DR is performing an excision soft tissue mass from the finger , it is excised from the root extending into the DIP joint, and removing the osteophyte off the dorsal base of the distal phalanx , I coded 26115 because the size of mass, However is there a code for the osteophyte ? Or is there a better code for both the mass and osteophyte ,
I appreciate any help

I code for hand surgeons and we use 26210 and more often 26235, 26236. Reference: https://www.supercoder.com/my-ask-an-expert/topic/excision-of-osteophyte-and-mucous-cyst
(26115 bundles with these)
