Our LCD says that benign lesion removals (shaves, excisions, skin tags, destruction) will be covered when the "lesion is in an anatomical region subject to recurrent physical trauma and there is documentation that such trauma has in fact occurred." For example, documentation says, "lesion constantly rubs on bra strap and it's driving the patient crazy."
What ICD-10 code can I use to communicate to insurance that the lesion removal was medically necessary?
