This note here is from a practice test, Please give what codes this should be.
Thanks in advace!

Patient presents for destruction of actinic keratosis and seborrheic keratosis. Patient seen for evaluation two weeks ago. History was taken, examination performed, and treatment options given to patient. Patient chose destruction by liquid nitrogen and we scheduled the procedures for today. There is no change to his history or examination since the last visit. He still desires procedure to be performed.

Procedure: After informed consent was obtained, liquid nitrogen was used to destroy 3 AKs and approximately 15 SKs. A 3mm freeze zone was allowed on each lesion. Verbal instructions were given to the patient on wound care and patient expressed understanding.
