A physician excises a 3.5 cm malignant lesion including margins from the back. Then a destruction of a 2.0 cm benign lesion on the right cheek of the face with cryosurgery. What CPT@ and ICD-10-CM is reported?
Correct Answer: C
1. CPTCode 11604: This code is used for the excision of a malignant lesion on the back, with a size of 3.5 cm including margins. The 11600 series covers excision of malignant skin lesions, with 11604 being the correct code for a lesion size over 3.0 cm but not exceeding 4.0 cm. 2. CPTCode 17110: This code is appropriate for the destruction of a benign lesion on the face (right cheek) via cryosurgery. 17110 covers the destruction of benign lesions (up to 14 lesions). 3. ICD-10-CM Code C44.509: This code represents unspecified malignant neoplasm of skin of trunk (back). 4. ICD-10-CM Code D23.39: This code is used for a benign neoplasm of skin of other parts of the face (right cheek). Explanation of other options: A: 11604, 11442, C76.8, C76.0: Incorrect because 11442 is for excision of a benign lesion, not a malignant lesion. B: 11404, 11442, C44.509, D23.39: Incorrect because 11404 is used for a benign lesion excision, not malignant. D: 11604, 11642, C76.8, C76.0: Incorrect as 11642 would indicate a second malignant excision rather than the benign lesion destruction. Thus, the correct answer is C. 11604, 17110, C44.509, D23.39.
