Any suggestions for an excision of an abdominal wall lipoma? The description for 22900 refers to "subfascial" - the MD indicates it was subcutaneous. We can't find another appropriate code...
 
If it was just subcutaneous, I would recommend 1140x depending on the size of the lipoma. If it was particularly deep, perhaps the op note may justify a 22 modifier for unusual and complicated.
