A 22-year-old female has a retained Kirschner wire in the left little finger. Using local anesthesia, the left upper extremity was thoroughly cleansed with Betadine. The end portion of the little finger was opened with a transverse incision through the subcutaneous tissue to the bone. The retained Kirschner wire was located within the distal phalanx. It was removed and the skin was closed with sutures. What CPT® code is reported?

The CPT code reported is 20680-LT

Explanation:

Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) is a medical code set that is used to report medical, surgical, and diagnostic procedures and services to entities such as physicians, health insurance companies and accreditation organisations

CPT codes are usually grouped numerically. The codes for surgery, for example, are 10021 through 69990.

The Surgery section, which is by far the largest, is organised by what part of the human body the surgery would be performed on.

CPT Code range for surgery (10000–69990) contains CPT codes for general surgery, integumentary system, musculoskeletal system, respiratory system, cardiovascular system, hemic and lymphatic systems, mediastinum and diaphragm, digestive system, urinary system, male genital system, reproductive system and intersex, female genital system, maternity care and delivery, endocrine system, nervous system, eye and ocular adnexa, auditory system.
