Full thickness excision of helical rim is performed leaving at least 5 mm margins leaving a 3 cm defect in the helical rim. Star-shaped full thickness (skin and cartilage) is performed to create advancement composite flaps. Cartilage is trimmed. Flaps are advanced and cartilage is approximated using 4-0 PDS on taper needle. Skin is closed with interrupted 6-0 nylon. Frozen section done after composite excision. Shave biopsy of left antitragus also done in same surgery.
What would CPT's be?
 
14060 advancement skin graft defect 10 cm or less
since just states shave biopsy 11102 but must be seperate incision to bill with the graft
