I need help finding code. My provider performed a Total Abdominal Hysterectomy. The op note mentions that he excised an old scar at the umbilious? I can not find a code for this any ideas?
 
Separate incision?

If he did this as part of his approach for the TAH then it's incidental and not separately coded.

If he had a completely separate incision you can use EITHER the complex repair codes OR Excision of benign lesion w/ intermediate closure (if performed).
