So, because of "Excision of Benign Lesions or Superficial subcutaneous soft tissue tumors that are cutaneous in origin (i.e., sebaceous cyst) are coded with integumentary system codes (11400-11446)" we can NOT use a muskuloskeletal/soft tissue CPT? Even if the surgeon documents that the cyst/lesion extended into the deep fascia?
I have seen this kind of excision with a pathology diagnosis of epidermal inclusion cyst.
