The patient presents for complaint of lesions.
The provider documents 1 skin tag on the glute, and 2 skin tag/ or Condylomata on the labia, 1-2 mm, and a vaginal polyp.
If the provider moves forward with excision of all 3 lesions and the polyp removal, what CPT codes should be expected?
I'm thinking of using a skin tag removal CPT, 11200, for the skin tag on the glute, and this will also include the labia lesions if Path returns they are skin tags. However, if the Labial lesions are Condylomata and the provider does document the size of the excisions, then I could use an Excision of Benign lesions CPT? 11420-11426?
If the provider does not document the excision size, would it be appropriate to use the destruction of vulvar lesion CPT, 56501? Or biopsy of vulvar lesion CPT 56605?
For the vaginal polyp removal, would it be appropriate to use CPT 57135, Excision of Vaginal Cyst and Tumor?
Thank you!
