A fallback version would make insurers prove upcoding, notify physicians and limit downcoding to 90 days.
Unfortunately, even though there are CPT codes for simpler procedures, there is currently no code for ring removal or entrapment.
Q: Recently, I've had to deal with two cases of ring entrapment-the first such cases I've had in nine years. Coding for the procedures was a problem. The first case I coded as finger pain and swelling, but the second was simply a ring stuck on the finger. What CPT code should I use?
