I am coding for a surgical excisional biopsy of a calcinosis cutis of the left heel. The lesion appears to be 5mm in diameter where two semi-elliptical incisions are made to excise the entire lesion 1.6 cm with a width of 6mm.

I am having a hard time finding a CPT code for this. Has anyone seen this done in the past?

Thank you!
