Wiki suture lysis: How would I code this

[feiteai@aol.com]

Patient came in eye clinic and a suture lysis was performed which cpt should I use. I am confused on this.

I am confused also. Does the patient have sutures following medical care and is this removal of the sutures?

There is no CPT for removal of sutures unless done under GENERAL anesthesia. This is included in the E/M. Hope this helps
