Amputation

“I had a patient call me worried about a possible diabetic foot infection. The patient has a history of below the knee amputation at the other limb and was panicked about the potential loss of limb. I worked them into the schedule that day and I am thinking about coding CPT 99058 in addition to the E/M code. Can I get paid for CPT 99058 and does it matter if the potential “infection” turned out to be not infected?”

“On February 11, a patient has a transmetatarsal amputation. The patient is a non-compliant, diabetic. The site deteriorates weeks after he leaves the hospital. On March 24, he was readmitted for an infected at the amputation site. On March 26, the remaining 5 metatarsals stumps are removed, and the wound is kept open. How would you recommend coding for the 2nd surgery? What is the code for removing the 5 remaining metatarsal stumps?”
