Hi Just wondering if someone would be able to help me coding a
Lesion from the back Path:Acanthosis and focal hyperkeratosis
I thought it was 701.1; however medicare will not pay an E&M(99213) with that Dx as they say that it is a screening and that is a
foot code Dx - So would I use the 702.8 other dermatoses Thanks in advance
