Hello! I’m a new coder in my first year working for a family physician who regularly performs lesion removals. This is the first time I’ve coded a lesion on the tongue, which falls into the Digestive not the Integumentary section of the CPT.

Documentation shows a scissor removal of 3mm papular lesion of the tongue (anterior 2/3) and base electrodessication. Pathology reports it as an Irritation Fibroma (which I’m ICD-10 coding as D10.1).
My search through the CPT Index leads me to:

41100 Biopsy of tongue; anterior two-thirds.
41110 Excision of lesion of tongue without closure.

Can any one tell me if I’m on the right track with these codes?

Many thanks!
Cheryl
