Toenail removal

Do minor CPT® surgical codes>>11750, need an e/m office visit code if thats the only thing the patient came in for? Please help.

no- if the visit was specifically for that then no E&M. If the patient came in with a sore foot and and the doc did a history and physical and determined that toe nail removal was needed then an E&M with -25 is indicated.

ok, so no E/M but if both toenails were done, then a -50 is appropriate, am I correct?

Code 11750 is 10 days, so it depends on CPT® code assigned.
