Question:
Amber L

One of my providers stated this in his note and I am not sure how to code it, if it would be considered incision removal of foreign body.
Procedures:
Left foot cleansed with alcohol. The area of injury unroofed with a sterile 15 # blade, and the callous surrounding was gently shaved away. A 1/2 inch sliver was grasped and removed using a splinter forcep. No bleeding, Dry sterile bandaid applied. Wound care instructions given.

Any advice on coding this would be greatly appreciated!
