Are there new guidelines for this procedure? (11100 for a skin punch biopsy) If a punch excision is done and the results prove to be benign or malignant, do we code under "Excision of benign Lesions" for 11400-11471? and 11600-11646 for "Excision of Malignant Lesions"? (assuming we have dimensions and location on body) or do we always code punch biopsy under 11100 when we have pathology/dimensions/body location.
When do we actually use 11100?
thank you!
