Are re-cuts to the margin of a surgical eval & micro billed separately or should they be bundled into the primary surgical pathology code? I have a case for a localized segmental mastectomy with 2 specimens labeled:
1 Additional left breast medial-inferior margin,excision
Breast tissue, no carcinoma identified
2 Left breast skin & tissue, excision
Breast tissue & skin, no carcinoma identified
