Hi all,
I read in last month's coding edge regarding the different types of removals Shave (11300-11313), Biopsy (11100, 11101) and Excisions (11400-11446),
(11600-11646), (17260-17285)
So what I got out of it was that if we are sending something for pathology you use the 11100, 11101, etc. codes.
Can you really not use the 11300-11313 to bill for biopsy with a shave technique?
If that's the case would it be fair to say, that you CAN bill a 11100 for a biopsy stating that it was done with a shave technique?
I hope that I made sense,
Thanks, dscoder74
