Doctor removed partial vulvectomy but not the clitoris which is the correct cpt to use as the 56620 removes the clitoris. Please help. Thanks
 
See 1st page of 2016 or 2015 CPT on Female Genital System, lists of definitions that apply to vulvectomy codes 56620 -56640.

The definitions describe codes 56620 - 56640: simple superficial SQ tissue; radial - look for words "deep tissue" in op report; partial - less than 80% removed; and complete - greater than 80% removed.
