A patient had surgery a year ago to repair two flexor tendons in his forearm. He is in surgery for a secondary repair for the same two tendons.

Which CPT coding is reported?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The scenario involves a secondary repair of two flexor tendons in the forearm. CPT code 25272 describes the repair of a secondary flexor tendon injury, including a graft, in the forearm and/or wrist, which fits the description provided. This code should be reported once, as the procedure encompasses the repair of multiple tendons.

I think the answer is B) 25272 x 2. This makes sense since the patient had two flexor tendons repaired during the secondary procedure.
