I have an OR report that states:
the lession was excised through the skin and subcutaneous tissue. After this was marked in the distal portion, it was palpated deep that there were even further masses in the deep subcutaneous spaces: these were enucleated in total down through the fascia and intramuscular septum. A rhomboid flap was elevated and inset into position.
Can I bill 26116 and 14040 since it was all done with one incision. I have not been able to find an edit. This is a medicare patient.
Thank you for your advice.
