True Blue
A patient presents to the office to have two lesions excised. One from his right arm and one from his left leg. I know that this would not be a bilateral procedure, but how would this be coded? Would I report:
11400 RT (for the arm)
11401 LT (for the leg)
or
11400 RT
11401 51 LT
or
11400 RT
11401 51, 59, LT
11400 RT (for the arm)
11401 LT (for the leg)
or
11400 RT
11401 51 LT
or
11400 RT
11401 51, 59, LT
