One last try on this . . .
Physician performed a left elbow distal biceps tendon debridement.
He did not go thru the joint - an incision was made centered in the antecubital foss extending approx 2-3 cm. The tearing was seen to originate off the radial tuberosity and extended proximally. The area of partial tearing was debrided.
Should I use an unlisted elbow code or is there a CPT code more descriptive that I am missing?
Thank you.
