True Blue
In short:
Preoperative dx : perianal squamous cell carcinoma
Postoperative dx: perianal squamous cell carcinoma
Procedure: Re-excision of perianal squamous cell carcinoma
Path report came back as : no residual invasive carcinoma identified – chronic inflammation
I'm not looking for exact codes… what I'd like to know is the "HOW" would you code....:
would you code a malignant or benign lesion dx for the diagnosis?
would you code a malignant or benign CPT excision code?
And more so – do you have any references you can direct me to regarding this?
Thanks for your input!
