You are listing ICD-9 facility codes and then a CPT® code. What is place of service and are you billing for physician or facility??

Example: A full thickness skin graft from the left thigh is used to close a 4 by 2 cm flap donor site. CPT® code 15260 is the appropriate code to assign for the closure of the flap defect created by the initial tissue advancement to the auricle of the right ear (code 14060 describes a scar excised from the auricle of the right ear).

The diagnosis depends on why the procedure was performed
