Could someone tell me what code to use for lesion of nares and nasopharynx. I asked MD if it was ulceration or abcess and he said no...lesions.
Please help. I can't find this.

Would need more detail to narrow things (CPTs, ICD-9s), but here is a start for possible CPTs! 
42800, 42802, 42804, 42806, 42808.
42800, 42802, 42804, 42806, 42808.

Are you reffering to a Diagnois Code or a CPT Code?

2013 Peds cpt book
In the 2013 Cpt Pediatrics book, it tells me to use code 87070 for a Throat CX, is this correct or do we still use code 87880?
