Cyst removal/excision
How would you code a small cyst removal (dx 706.2) that was removed by a 4mm punch biopsy? Excision codes wouldn't apply..biopsy codes wouldn't apply...
Help? Anyone?

re: Cyst removal/excision
Excisional biopies are coded as excisions. I would need more information on how this was performed and location of the cyst in order to give correction guidance.
