Hi Y'all
Can I get some feed back on the modifier usage 24 and 25..
Scenario:
Patient came in as a new patient to see the provider for a rash on his back and diagnosed as allergic dermatitis (L23.9) , but then provider notices a suspicious lesion on the rt forearm and excises it.
Path report came back as: BCC- basal cell CA. excised lesion 1.5 cm with intermediate closure.
Coded?
99202 - dx L23.9
11601 - C44.612
12031 - C44.612
Keep in mind 11601 has a 10 global period. What my question is, do I need a modifier 24 as well as a 25 on the 99202?
Thanks for any feedback
