try 11423 for excision benign lesion scalp with simple closure OR
try 12032 for excision benign lesion scalp with layered closure (intermediate repair); these codes are refering to a lesion 3cm no other mention of
margin excision, etc.;
Depends on the documentation of closure.
If surgeon is closing by tissue advancement or reconstruction, your code should be found 14000-14300; these codes, I think, include excision of lesion and repair of defect.
Hope this helps
