Wiki removal fragment in scalp

[jsharkey]

I am trying to find a cpt code for removal bullet fragments in scalp the 20100 series does not have anything for the scalp and the physican is also closing with a deep layered closure. I could go the the skin section any ideas

Any help appreciated: confused:

10121? Not that great an option though

It looks as though the best code would be a complex repair code for the scalp (codes 13120-13122).

I would look at 20520 or 20525.
