V-Y flap

Hi,

I really doubt if we can code both the codes 14060 & 114xx together, as other later is inclusive with former.
According to me it should be coded only with 14060/61

Regards,
Dr. Poonam
 
Code ONLY for flap

Read your guidelines for Adjacent Tissue Transfer or Rearrangement (CPT 2009 Professional edition, page 60). Excision of benign or malignant lesion is NOT separately reportable.
