Wiki Excision

[slsmith]

Our provider went to excise what he thought was a cyst and discovered it was an osteoma and could not remove it. We referred the patient out and did a layer closure. Since we did not excise anything do we just bill the closure?

Thanks,

I would bill only the closure and use a surgical wound dx maybe.
