Doc did an excision of a 4x5cm mass at left forearm near elbow. Now path report came back a rheumatoid nodule. or if it was near the elbow this could represent bursa tissue.
Looking at cpt code 24071 but when I look up the ICD-9 they dontvmatch up.Rheumatoid nodule direct me to 714.0 ,which does not match up with cpt code 24071.Any suggestions ?
