Removal Of Deep Foreign Object, Muscle Or Soft Tissue

West Virginia rates for HCPCS 20525

This procedure removes a foreign object, such as a piece of glass, metal, or wood, that has become lodged deep in muscle or soft tissue, requiring more extensive dissection than a surface-level removal. It is used when the object is not easily accessible just under the skin. It may require imaging beforehand to locate the object precisely.
