CPT Knowledgebase - Jun 29, 2010

Can CPT codes 26040 and 26045 be reported more than once per hand in the same surgical session, or is the intent of codes 26040 and 26045 to be reported once per hand no matter how many fasciotomies are performed? If these codes can be reported more than once per hand, can the codes be reported once per finger affected?
