Hi everyone, have been trying to find a code for the removal of a nipple of a breast cancer patient. I keep coming up with CPT code 19120, with a diagnosis code of 85.25. However, this codes states "Excision of cyst, fibroadenoma, or other benign or malignant tumor, aberrant breast tissue, duct lesion, nipple or areolar lesion (except 19300), open, male or female, 1 or more lesions ". This is an actual nipple removal, not an excision. Can anyone plese help?
Thank you.
