I am trying to find the cpt to code for the removal of cartilage tags (not skin tags) in order to do a pre-authorization.

The cartilage tags (or bumps) are in the preauricular area.

Thanks, in advance, for any help!

Cartilage tags

Were they "shaved" or removed?

I would look at the "excision of benign lesion" series of codes since this is for pre-auth.

They will be removed, not 'shaved.'
