I have a patient who came in for recheck of biopsy sites.
Pt had multiple other areas of concern.
Discuss EDC to previous biopsy site.
She had a biopsy of her right calf which came back as nodular basal cell carcinoma which the Dr did a ED&C.
The other site which the pt had the ED&C on was her back. The actual biopsy was done in 2005, it came back as basal cell carcinoma. Pt has had no treatment on this site since 2005. Can I still bill the destruction code with this diagnosis?
Thank you to everyone who responds
