excision - benign lesion cpt 11423 inflamed sebor. ker. dx. 702.11 (neck)
destruction - benign lesion(s) x4 (l. ear, r. ear, cheek, forehead) were removed cpt 17000 actinic ker. 702.0 17000 x 3
All during same visit.
this claim has been denied twice due to modifiers also stating included w/ other svc. I am wanting to be sure I am coding correctly, modifiers, etc.
billing as 11423-59 (702.11)
17000-59-51-99 (702.0)
17003x3 (702.0)
I do not believe the 17003x3 requires a modifier. Is this correct?
Any help/advice appreciated
