10040 or Excision series?

I have a provider who coded this as 10040. I’m thinking this is an Excision. Patient will return to have sutures removed. Input please? Thank you much!
Below I listed an excerpt of the procedure performed:

Sebaceous cyst

PROCEDURE:
" … a straight incision was made on the surface skin and cyst dissected off in total. The cyst was punctured and drained cheesy material during the dissection. No adhesion noted between subcutaneous tissue and cyst wall. Pathology was deferred as there was no clinical suspicion of atypia. The subcutaneous space was closed with a single figure of 8 knot using 3-0 vicryl. Skin was approximated with 2 simple interrupted sutures using 4-0 ethilon. The area was cleansed with normal saline and dressed with a bandage."
