Love Coding!
Expert
I work for a dermatology practice, here is my question:
On the table of risk, what constitutes skin biopsy (low level of risk) and deep needle or incisional biopsy (moderate level of risk). Are we overcoding a shave biopsy or punch biopsy of a lesion, cyst, wart as moderate decision making? Up until now, we have been coding as moderate is this correct?
Thanks to all that help!!!
