Wiki Help with excision left nipple areolar complex with partial mastectomy

[Jennifer CPC]

Good morning -
I am stuck
I have a male patient with an excision left nipple areolar complex with partial mastectomy for mammary duct ectasia with chronic cystic mastitis.

I need help with the CPT code(s). Can anyone lend a hand?
Thanks,
Jennifer

19303 Simple mastectomy is what I would use, the 19300 is only for gynecomastia. Hope that helps

Thank you - would you code anything for the excision left nipple areolar complex? Or would that be bundled into the mastectomy?
