Patient has a hx of AK and malign lesions
procedure 17004 destruction of pre-malignant was preformed

what do you add for skin screening of moles.
E&M 99213
V10.83 personal history of other malig neoplasm of skin

Should there be a screening code? What is it?

Help appreciated
 
In our office we use the chief complaint of "history of non melanoma skin cancer"
We discuss their past skin cancer in the HPI and PE. We bill and E&M of V10.83. We will use this dx every 3-6 months when the patient returns for their screening.
 
I would use V76.43 screening for malignant neoplasm of skin.
I would also use V10.83 history of non-menaloma skin cancer.
