Hi AASeals,😉
I'd assign the following CPT & Dx codes as....
#1 11104 back area with punch bx done dx D22.5 Nevus on back & dx L82.1
#2 17000 (59 or XS modifier )face lesion dx D21.0 L57.0
#3. 17003 nose lesion 2nd lesion dx D21.0 L98.8👃
I d use modifier 59 on 2nd CPT since differ body area. I d use the dx code . If the patient has had skin issues before for my last dx use Z87.2. I hope this is helpful for you.
