Hi,

Does anyone know how to code a biopsy of multiple tongue lesion?

I was wondering if it more appropriate to use an Integumentary CPT codes 10000 series for biopsy of multiple tongue lesion or should the Digestive CPT
40000 series is more appropriate?

Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
