provider indicates they performed 11305 shave and 11710 destroy on the same lesion during the same visit. Can these both be charged?
 
No you cannot bill both even with a modifier. The 59 would indicate to the payer that these were separate lesions . You bill whichever is the most comprehensive. To shave the lesion is to destroy it, if you need further destruction to remove more tissue it is inclusive.
