This 45 year-old male presents to the operating room with a painful mass of the right upper arm. General anesthesia was induced. Soft tissue dissection was carried through the proximal aspect of the teres minor muscle. Upon further dissection a large mass was noted just distal of the IGHL (inferior glenohumeral ligament), which appeared to be benign in nature. With blunt dissection and electrocautery, the 4 cm mass was removed en bloc and sent to pathology. The wound was irrigated, and repair of the teres minor with subcutaneous tissue was closed with triple-0 Vicryl. Skin was closed with double-0 Prolene in a subcuticular fashion. What CPT® code is reported

CPT® is a code used by health professionals and establishments to promote agility and better patient care. This is because, CPT® is composed of a set of codes related to surgery, medical procedures, exams, tests, applications, diseases, treatments and many other factors that can be used by the medical team to help patients. This code promotes agility in communication between members of the medical team, allowing the patient to be treated in the best possible way. In addition, these codes allow a universalization of the medical language, allowing the exchange of information to be done efficiently.

In relation to the question above, the CPT® used would be 23076-RT.
