Exclude 1 notes N85 series can’t be coded together with N86

Dear All,

Need some help to find why, N85.00 can’t be coded with N86. There is an exclude 1 note in the ICD 10 guidelines; however, while informing our doctors they want to know the reason. Our OB saying, these two conditions doesn’t have any relation, then why we can’t code together.:confused:

highly appreciate your help in this regards,

Thanks a lot

Knee X-ray Series question

When a provider orders the following:
Right knee series includes bilateral AP, Bilateral weight bearing PA, lateral and bilateral Merchant views ordered and obtained.

What would the proper billing be? The way I understand it is the physician is looking at 3 views of the affected knee, 2 of the unaffected knee and then the Bilateral standing. Most insurance do not pay for the unaffected side as comparisons so would
73565
73562-rt-59
be appropriate? It has been shown to me that NCCI edits do not bundle these two codes and that 73562 is allowed with 73565 with modifiers.
I am finding quite a bit of conflicting information and most of the sources are from old dates, so I’m asking for advise.

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."
