Hi Shanny,
Creating a code list for your new provider shouldn't be difficult for you. I am betting they want to create their problem list to scroll down list for common ailments. Relax, and put a quick Excel sheet together on Melanoma, malignant skin break down (basal, squamous, in situ), hemangioma, neurofibroma, along with those other ailments such as elastosis, keratosis, hyperkeratosis, pigment ailments, actinic, and simply L98.9 when we simply do not know. There will be other codes. Take the time to research and add them to the list but this will definately provide a start for your new provider that will be super appreciative!
Thanks for listening,
