CPT code 26055, which refers to an incision of the tendon sheath, is generally considered incidental to CPT code 26145, which involves excision of a tendon. When a procedure like tendon excision is performed, any necessary incisions made for sheath access are typically included in the primary procedure’s reimbursement. Therefore, separate billing for code 26055 is usually not warranted unless it is performed as a distinct and separate procedure. Always consult the latest coding guidelines or a coding professional for specific cases.
