Removal Of A Deep Object In The Forearm Or Wrist

Pennsylvania rates for HCPCS 25248

This is a surgical exploration to locate and remove a foreign object lodged deep in the forearm or wrist, beneath the muscle layer rather than just under the skin. It requires cutting through tissue to reach and retrieve the object, unlike a simple surface removal. The wound is then cleaned and closed.
