Hi,
The first procedure is excision of cyst of midline upper back.
Second procedure is excision of cyst
An intermediate repair was performed on both lesions (2.5cm+2.9cm=5.4cm)
12032,11402-51,11402 -51,L72.0.
Can we combine the repair as a single code?

Please help.
Sri.
 
Hi Sri,

Yes, you would combine the lengths as they are in the same anatomical location. See guidance in your CPT Book (mine is pg. 84)

Hope this helps!
