Removal of sutures

Can anyone help me with this question?
Surgery was performed in our facility on a patient who had exposed suture in the right eye. I am not able to find this diagnosis code, nor cpt code. This was intraocular surgery for ophthalmology retina specialist. Basically the sutures became exposed, doctor had to go in and close the wound. Can anyone please guide me in the right direction how to code this surgery? Please and thank you!

skin tag removal with sutures placed

Hello, Can I bill 11200 and 12001 together if skin tag was removed and 3 sutures were placed to control bleeding? – Thanks.

Procedure: Hemostasis of bleeding skin tag.
Verbal consent incl risks/beneifts from daughter at bedside
The area was cleansed. 1% lido used to infiltrate the area. Bleeding noted from the base on the skin tag. I used silver nitrate stick but still bleeding. The skin tag was removed (had barely been connected). I put 3 3-0 silk hemostatic sutures in place around the area of bleeding with control of bleeding.
