I was advised by a previous manager that Biopsies are generally coded as 11100, 11101, unless the size is greater than 1.5cm.
Once the size is over 1.5cm we code as 113xx (Shave Removals).
Can anyone confirm this, and if so explain why we do so?
I would like to provide an explanation to a current doctor and don't have a concrete explanation for why this is done.
Thank you.
