  1. A surgeon performs a shave removal of a 0.8 cm benign lesion from a patient's back. Which CPT code range should be reported?

    Answer: 11300-11313

    Shave removals of lesions are reported with codes 11300-11313, selected based on anatomical location and lesion size.

  2. When coding adjacent tissue transfer or rearrangement, what measurement is used to determine the correct CPT code?

    Answer: Primary defect plus secondary defect combined area

    For adjacent tissue transfer (e.g., Z-plasty), the combined area of both the primary and secondary defects determines the correct CPT code.

  3. A patient undergoes paring or cutting of four separate corns on the foot. Which CPT code is reported?

    Answer: 11056

    CPT 11056 covers paring or cutting of benign hyperkeratotic lesions (corn or callus) when 2 to 4 lesions are treated.

  4. Skin substitute grafts used in wound care are coded based on which two factors?

    Answer: Graft size and anatomical location

    Skin substitute graft CPT codes are selected based on the size of the graft (in sq cm) and the anatomical location (trunk/extremities vs. face/scalp/hands/feet).

  5. A physician performs a full-thickness skin graft to the hand using a 20 sq cm donor site from the thigh. How many CPT codes are typically reported?

    Answer: Two codes: one for the recipient site and one for the donor site harvest

    Full-thickness skin grafts require separate CPT codes for the graft application to the recipient site and for the donor site harvest/closure.

  6. Destruction of 10 flat warts using cryotherapy on the face is reported with which code?

    Answer: 17111

    CPT 17111 covers destruction of benign lesions (other than skin tags or cutaneous vascular proliferative lesions) when 15 or more lesions are treated — wait, actually 17110 is up to 14 and 17111 is 15+. For 10 warts, CPT 17110 is correct.

  7. Which of the following correctly describes when debridement codes 97597-97598 are used instead of 11042-11047?

    Answer: 97597-97598 are used for active wound care management requiring selective debridement

    Codes 97597-97598 describe active wound care management with selective debridement (e.g., high-pressure irrigation, whirlpool) and are distinct from the surgical debridement codes 11042-11047.
