I am currently studying for the CPC exam and came across this question. according to the answer key, the correct answer is A. Unless I may be missing information on how to code lessions, I believe the answer may be incorrect. I will appreciate if you can provide assistance. Thanks
Q: a 61 year old patient had a benign 1-cm lesion excised from his right arm, a benign 2.5-cm lesion excised from his trunk, and a benign 2.1-cm lesion excised from his neck. The final excised diameters were documented at 1.9-cm right arm, 3.1-cm trunk, and 2.1-cm neck. The defect created on the arm by the excision was 2.8-cm. defect trunk 3.8 cm, and neck 2.8 cm. All defects were closed by simple suture technique. How would you report these services?

b. 11422,1200451, 11404-59,11402-59
c. 11401,11403-51,11423-51
d. 11602-RT,11604-59, 11622-59
