Hey Guys,
What would you bill for unroofing of a skin lesion? He used a 23 guage needle.
Thanks,
Chrissy

But 10021 says a syringe is also used to collect and sample the fluid. The coding educator for my company said 10060 (I&D). What do you think about that?
Thanks for your response

It depends on what is documented. Generally, unroofing is coded as 10060.
