I have a surgeon who dictated in his OP Report "multiple (20 or 30) lesions excised from both RT upper arm and LT Forearm". I sent it back stating I needed sizes and a count--how many from each arm. His office is saying that they coded it with one code with all the sizes lumped together (stating the 10% of body). I'm saying this isn't right. Am I wrong?
I thought it was they are coded separately unless they are submitted to pathology as one specimen.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
