scar revision

When coding for removal of a scar, would you code both the benign lesion removal & a complex repair?

scar excision

No, code only the complex repair. While scars are considered benign lesions, when the scar is excised and the size/location requires a complex repair, the excision is considered to be the bundled into the repair and is not separately reportable.
