Toenail excision

What is the proper documentation that needs to be done by the provider to be able to charge 11750 excision of nail and nail matrix partial or complete, for permanent removal?
As my provider has a template that he follows for example:

consent was signed: yes
complications discussed: yes
timed out procedure was observed: yes
Anesthesia: Lidocaine 1% lidocaine digital nerve block
Ingrown nail elevated and excised back to the nail matix: yes (using hemostat)
Excess granulation tissue debride:yes
Treated with phenol: no
Hemostasis assured: no
Blood loss: none
Complications: none

Let me know what you think or what else I should ask the provider to include in his notes as these to me seem very minimal.
Thanks
