I need some assistance please...
I need to know how to code this --

removal of 180 cm2 strawberry nevus of left cheek, autograft of split thickness skin graft of 180cm2(squared)

I am not familiar enough with the grafting codes to code this correctly and would love some assistance...

thanks for your assistance

Lesion removal and skin graft

For an accurate response to surgical coding questions, please post the scrubbed procedure note.

One thing I notice in your brief description ... Lesions are measure NOT by sq cm but by the widest diameter plus minimal margin necessary for complete removal. So you will need a diameter measurement of the nevus.

Hope that helps.
