I need help with coding a procedure (new coder of only 3 months):
Pt comes in with laceration of 2nd & 3rd finger. The 3rd finger also has an nail avulsion. The MD does a 2 layer repair to the 2nd finger (1.5 cm) which would be 12031. On the 3rd finger her re-approximated the nail and tacked it down with 2 sutures on the nail and repaired the pad with 2 sutures (1 cm). Would this be coded as 12001?
Thanks,
deniseb
