Can anyone help me with this. I want to make sure I am on the right track. I have a provider meeting next week and I seem to be getting mixed directions when it comes to proper coding for a sebaceous cyst incision and drainage vs. excision
if the provider makes an incision ( no excision-no margins) removes the contents and the sac if the sebaceous cyst. . Do I code the I &D 10060, 10061 or do I code the benign excision codes according to size and location of the lesion 11400-11446. There seems to be some confusion on this matter. I have a provider meeting coming up where we will be discussing this and I would like to get to the bottom of this. thank Lyndzee Toone, CPC (family practice)
