New to this. Doc notes .07x.04x.01 cm for benign eyebrow Nevus Excision. How do I calculate that to a code? I'm getting 11443 ??

Thank you!
 
You code by the length, which is 0.07, so it's 11440.

Are you sure those zeros belong in there? It sounds awfully small. (If it's actually 0.7 x 0.4 x 0.1, then the code would be 11441.)
 
When the diameter of a lesion is described as having multiple sides as A × B × C pick the largest size as the diameter. In your case it will be 0.07. Make sure those decimal points though.
