Wiki Removal of cartilage tag (CPT?)

[CynthiaT]

I am trying to find the cpt to code for the removal of cartilage tags (not skin tags).

The cartilage tags (or bumps) are in the preauricular area.

Thanks, in advance, for any help!

Excision of benign lesion

We use excision of benign lesion and layered closure, as appropriate/documented.
