Which CPTs are you using?

I was thinking 11760 for the complex nail bed repair laceration and 26765 F6 for the ORIF distal phalanx of right index finger.

Are you thinking about the 1200x CPTs for the "repair of cutaneous laceration?" If so, yes.

I agree with billing all three codes the cutaneous repair is on the palm side, the nail is dorsal and the fx is bone.

I was considering 120xx. That is extremely helpful. I really appreciate the help!
