When the sheath surrounding a tendon is damaged, it can lead to inflammation, pain, and reduced mobility in the affected area. This condition, often referred to as tenosynovitis, may result in swelling and difficulty in movement due to the friction between the tendon and the sheath. Furthermore, the healing process can be prolonged, and if not treated properly, it may lead to chronic issues or tendon rupture. Proper medical evaluation and treatment are essential to prevent complications.

Is cpt coe 26055 -tendon sheath incision incidental to cpt code 26145-tendon excision?

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.
