Bilobed flaps are adjacent tissue transfers. And as jackjones52 said, we code only once per defect. So, if more than one flap is used to close a defect, only one flap is coded for the total sq cm in the flap(s).
 
Remember that if bilobed flaps are ATT/Transposition flaps (14XXX series), they're based on the size of the defect not the flap(s) per CPT.
