The evacuation of subungual hematoma is a procedure used to treat bleeding underneath the nail. The procedure, also known as drainage or trephination, can remove the blood and other fluid that becomes retained under the nail due to the said condition.
There are several ways this can be done, but a cautery tip, which burns through the nail, is probably the most common method used today. So yes 11740 is the treatment for Subungual Hematoma. Hope this helps. You must log in or register to reply here.
11740The appropriate CPT code is 11740, “Evacuation of subungual hematoma.” The corresponding ICD-9 code is 923.3, “Contusion of upper limb, Finger,” which includes hematomas of the fingernail.

Losing a toenail or fingernail because of an injury is called avulsion. The nail may be completely or partially torn off after a trauma to the area. Your doctor may have removed the nail, put part of it back into place, or repaired the nail bed.
For smaller abscesses, the physician may simply aspirate the fluid with a syringe and needle; this would be accurately represented by CPT code 10160, Puncture aspiration of abscess, hematoma, bulla, or cyst.
TreatmentRest: Limit use of the affected finger or toe.Ice: Use an ice pack, to reduce swelling and pain.Compression: Apply pressure such as a wrap to the area immediately, to reduce the amount of blood that can pool.Elevation: Keep the affected hand or foot elevated, to reduce swelling.
11750 is a more intensive version of 11730. 11730 is performed so the nail can grow back. 11750 in addition to remove of the nail, the matrix/nailbed is killed off so the nail doesn't grow back. The descriptions for CPT codes 11730, 11732 and 11750 indicate partial or complete.
A bruise, also known as a contusion, typically appears on the skin after trauma such as a blow to the body. It occurs when the small veins and capillaries under the skin break. A hematoma is a collection (or pooling) of blood outside the blood vessel.
Abstract. Soft-tissue hematomas are a common clinical entity often associated with trauma, surgery, and bleeding disorders. In the majority of cases, soft-tissue hematomas acutely appear and spontaneously resolve, but sometimes, they present as swellings that slowly expand and progressively increase with time.

-The nail avulsion (CPT 11730) should be billed as the first procedure with L60. 0 as the primary diagnosis and L03. 032 as the secondary diagnosis, and the -TA modifier as primary.
Procedure code 11730 (Avulsion of nail plate, partial or complete, simple; single) is reported when removing part of the nail plate or the entire nail plate.

Subungual Hematoma#N#11740 is described as "Evacuation" of a subungual hematoma. The actual method/procedure by which this is done is to "drill" through the finger nail to allow the blood under the nail (very painful) to escape and relieve the pressure. It is really more of an "Decompression" than an "Evacuation." There are several ways this can be done, but a cautery tip, which burns through the nail, is probably the most common method used today. So yes 11740 is the treatment for Subungual Hematoma.#N#Hope this helps.#N#Respectfully submitted, Alan Pechacek, M.D.
