Hi again- I posted this in January, unfortunately, losta views, but no responses, It's still a bruhaha because the codes most folks use: 56501/57061 don't work because of the "where". Basically a chemical destruction of a cervical lesion-the latest doc discussion is A) use an E/M B) use unlisted 58999, or C) go with ones above and "hope it includes cervical area". PLEASE so tired of doc and admin discussion to death-any experts out there that can help with this? THANK YOU!!!!
Our doc "destroyed a lesion on the cervical trunk using 1cc of Trichloracetic Acid, for non inflammatory disease of the cervix". Because it's the cervix (not in/around vaginal area) we don't feel 57061 is appropriate, and are thinking of using 58999 unlisted proc and send with notes. Does anyone else out there have a better suggestion of a cpt? Thank you!
