- There are no codes in the vulvar excision section for a cyst removal (other than Bartholin's) and this cyst was of the labia so that rules out the vaginal cyst excision code of 57135. The code I have settled on is 11423: Excision, benign lesion including margins...genitalia; excised diameter 2.1 to 3.0cm.

You Be the Coder: Vitrectomy With Membrane Peel and Endolaser Answer: You should report both 67038 (Vitrectomy, mechanical, pars plana approach; with epiretinal membrane stripping) and 67040 (Vitrectomy, mechanical, pars plana approach; with endolaser panretinal photocoagulation) for the procedure you described. You-ll use 67038 for the vitrectomy and membrane peel. For laser photocoagulation, you would use 67040. You may need to append modifier 52 (Reduced services) to indicate to the payer that you-re not double-billing for the vitrectomy. Ask your individual payers if they require this modifier.

Infant and Adult Circumcision Coding: Understanding the procedures and how to code them. CPT-4 denotes the circumcision codes as those between 54150 and 54163; ICD-9 denotes the circumcision as code 64.0, code 64.49 as a repair of the penis, and V64.93 as a division of penile adhesions. As we transition to ICD-10PCS, I have cross coded the ICD-9 procedure codes in the table below.

Three answers in the report will help you piece together the coding puzzle. When reporting excision of skin lesions (11400-11646), in addition to other procedures at the same anatomic location during the same session, be on the lookout for the following bundling issues. Do not report in addition to lesion excision: Local anesthesia. Simple closures (12001-12018)

Three answers in the report will help you piece together the coding puzzle. The lesion measures 1.5 cm at its widest, around which the surgeon removes a margin of 0.5 cm. The pathology report reveals a neoplasm of uncertain behavior. “Uncertain behavior” requires you to report benign lesion excision (11400-11446). The location is the cheek, which narrows your choice to codes 11440-11446.

Three answers in the report will help you piece together the coding puzzle. Example 1: A surgeon excises a malignant lesion from a patient’s right shoulder. Prior to excision, the lesion measures 1.0 cm at its widest. To ensure removal of all malignancy, the surgeon allows a margin of at least 1.0 cm on all sides, for a total excised diameter of 3.0 cm (1.0 cm + [2 x 1.0 cm]).

Function Determines Code for Ureteral Stents or Catheters At the conclusion of the procedure, the catheter, unlike a stent, is removed. You should use 52005 (Cystourethroscopy, with ureteral catheterization, with or without irrigation, instillation, or ureteropyelography, exclusive of radiologic service) for the catheterization, which includes insertion and removal, says Jan Brunetti, CPC, billing coordinator for Urology Associates of Newport, R.I.

Vulvectomy Vulvectomy refers to a gynecological procedure in which the vulva is partly or completely removed.The procedure is usually performed as a last resort in certain cases of cancer, vulvar dysplasia, vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia, human papillomavirus or female genital mutilation.Skinning vulvectomy' involves the removal of the top layer of vulvar skin (the external female genital organs, including the clitoris, vaginal lips and the opening of the vagina). In this case skin grafts from other parts of the body may be needed to cover the area.

Tips to choose the right codes for incision and drainage procedures Abscesses. The first code in the CPT series for incision and drainage, CPT 10060-10061, defines the procedure as incision and drainage of abscess (carbuncle, suppurative hidradenitis, cutaneous or subcutaneous abscess, cyst, furuncle, or paronychia); simple or single and complex or multiple.ote that because drain placement is an inherent part of this procedure, it is not appropriate to report this service separately. Medical necessity. With all incision and drainage procedures, it is important to show medical necessity by choosing the appropriate ICD-9 codes to correlate with the procedure.

- Vulvar lesion excision. Surgery is the most common treatment for cancer of the vulva. The goal of surgery is to remove all the cancer without any loss of the woman's sexual function. One of the following types of surgery may be done:Wide local excision: A surgical procedure to remove the cancer and some of the normal tissue around the cancer. Radical local excision: A surgical procedure to remove the cancer and a large amount of normal tissue around it.

Coding ICD-10-PCS Medical and Surgical-Related Sections: Understanding Obstetrics, Placement, And Administration Two codes are required: one for the mid forceps delivery and one for the episiotomy with repair. The root operation for the mid forceps delivery is Extraction in the Obstetrics section. Since this procedure was performed on the products of conception (fetus) the procedure would be coded from the Obstetrics section. The ICD-10-PCS code for the mid forceps delivery is 10D07Z4.

Want to Max Out Lesion Coding Returns? Measure Specimens Pre-Path Measure Margins, Wound Area. When a provider performs lesion removal, he will remove the lesions as well as margins of healthy tissue around the wound. For your lesion removal claims, you need to add the dimensions of the lesion your provider removes to the margins, and then use that length to determine code choice. Example: The physician removes a 0.9 cm benign lesion from a patient’s left leg with a 0.4 cm margin. This means that total excision size was 1.3 cm. On the claim, you would report 11402 (Excision, benign lesion including margins, except skin tag [unless listed elsewhere], trunk, arms or legs; excised diameter 1.1 to 2.0 cm) for the removal.

- Overview of Coding for Stent Removal, Stent Exchange, and more! Overview of Coding for Stent Removal, Stent Exchange, and more! Coding for stent removal is tricky, especially when the stent has migrated and gone up and has been displaced and becomes an intra urethral stent or foreign body. For its removal, we would suggest that you bill the ureteroscopic code for its removal by using the CPT code 52351, and add modifier 22 for the extra work that you may be doing in removing the stent. The 52310 and the 52315 are the removal of stones or stent. They are bundled and you cannot unbundle.
