Wiki Billing Mohs Surgery 2nd Stage 17312

[tholcomb]

Good morning Coders,

I have a physician who billed Mohs stage 1 17311 on Nov. 12, 2013 now wants to bill the
2nd stage 17312 on 11-22-13 same anatomical site now we all know you cannot bill the add-on code without the primary code any suggestions please.


Thank you,
TH

if a mohs is started again on a new day you bill a 17311. even though for you it is the second stage. those are the rules of mohs billing
