Advance tissue Rearrangement

[ssharris]

A physician wants to perform lesion removals and perform adjacent tissue rearrangement.
I am aware documentation must support 2 separate incisions/defects.

My question is, can ATR be billed for lesions under 1cm? Is there a "minimal" requirement?

I have research this and can not find anything. Some of these are lesions of .5cm and less.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't see why this would be necessary with such a small lesion.

The CPT book says that the excision of a benign or malignant lesion is not separately reportable with the adjacent tissue transfer codes. (14000-14302). You can only bill for the adjacent tissue transfer.
