I am in a battle with another coder.
The path report states "Nevus"
She says to code it as 448.1 "Nevus, non neoplastic". if you look in the Tabular, this is "Diseases of the Circulatory system"
I think it should be coded to Neoplasm, skin, benign, and coded to the site example, back, neck, arm etc.
Thoughts?
Thanks
