Good Evening everyone. Can anyone provide assistance with locating the most appropriate code for the resection of two keloid scars 4x4 cm? This procedure was not done in conjunction with c-section. "Thank You" in advance for any and all responses.
 
Integumentary system

You are looking at either:

Option 1: Excision of lesion (each "lesion" is coded separately) plus intermediate repair if required to close the surgical wound.

Option 2: Complex repair includes "scar revision." Here you would add the lengths of each together to find the one code.

In either case, if these were indeed separate from the C-section incision, then you'll need a -59 modifier.

Hope that helps.
