I'm not sure what CPT to bill for the following procedure for hematoma removal. It was thought to be a cyst but ended up being a hematoma:


left lateral leg prepped with betadine. 1% lido with epi for local. ellipse made over cystic structure. dissected over cyst which appearred to be clot in varicosity. able to dissect around area and used 4-0 vicryl to tie off base. removed with scissor. closed skin with 5-0 ethilon
wound care and suture removal in 10 days.

Thanks!
