When we have a patient with a lesion that looks like a skin cancer and we excise it for instance- 17280 to 17286 code range, but when the histopathology comes back it was an actinic keratosis, which is a PREMALIGNANT Lesion, does that mean we need to change the CPT code range to 11310 to 11313 code range? That is what I thought since AK are PRE-malignant, not cancer; however our benign lesion LCD does not allow for ICD-10 L57.0 (actinic keratosis). What do you all do in this situation? Thanks for any input!
