I was always told & taught that if the doctor is performing a scar excision but documents the repair as being only a intermediate (eg. skin edges were undermined in all directions through the use of sharp dessection,wound was repaired in layers,) that I should use the excision codes 114xx & 12xxx for intermed. repair BUT if the doctors is doing a scar excision & documents the repair as being complex then I would just bill the repair code 131xx, Is that right?????
