An established patient presents to his doctor’s office for evaluation of long-standing diabetes and hypertension, currently doing well per patient. A detailed history was obtained and a detailed exam
was performed. Medical decision making was of moderate complexity. The patient requested evaluation of AK’s and SK’s. Following examination, patient agreed to have them removed. Two
AK’s were treated with Liquid Nitrogen and 2 SK’s were treated with Liquid Nitrogen. Assign the ICD-10-CM diagnosis & CPT procedure codes including modifiers, as appropriate
I coded 99214-25, 17000, 17003, L57.0, L82.1, I10 and E11.8. Auditor asked for me to recheck E11.8 for the long-standing diabetes. any recommendations on how long standing diabetes should be coded?
