skin lesion removal coding

When a doctor removes a "BCC 9mm lesion on the trunk."however with margins it is 1.5cm. How would that be coded. According to the CPT® book, it states "lesion including margins" so would it be 11601 (0.6 to 1.0cm) lesion size only or (11602 1.1 to 2.0cm)including margins. I think it would be the 11602 (1.1 to 2.0). Thanks
