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.
 
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.
