PRE OP DIAGNOSIS: Left Breast Abnormal MMG or Palpable Mass; Other
Disorders of Breast PROCEDURE: Automated Stereotactic Biopsy Left Breast
FINDINGS: Lesion is located in the lateral region, just at or below the level of the
nipple on the 90 degree lateral view. There is a subglandular implant in place. I
discussed the procedure with the patient today including risks, benefits and
alternatives. Specifically discussed was the fact that the implant would be
displaced out of the way during this biopsy procedure. Possibility of injury to the
implant was discussed with the patient. Patient has signed the consent form and
,wishes to proceed with the biopsy. The patient was placed prone on the stereotactic
table; the left breast was then imaged from the inferior approach. The lesion of
interest is in the anterior portion of the breast away from the implant which was
displaced back toward the chest wall. After imaging was obt - ANS... -A. 19081
A 53-year-old male is in the dermatologist's office for removal of 2 lesions located
on his lower lip and nose. Lesions were identified and marked. The lower lip lesion
of 4 mm in size was shaved to the level of the superficial dermis. Utilizing a 3-mm
punch, a biopsy was taken of the left supratip nasal area. What are the CPT® codes
for these procedures?

A 76-year-old has dermatochalasis on bilateral upper eyelids. A blepharoplasty
will be performed on the eyelids. A lower incision line was marked at
approximately 5 mm above the lid margin along the crease. Then using a pinch test
with forceps the amount of skin to be resected was determined and marked. An
elliptical incision was performed on the left eyelid and the skin was excised. In a
similar fashion the same procedure was performed on the right eye. The wounds
were closed with sutures. The correct CPT® code(s) is/are?
A. 15822, 15823-51

A 46-year-old female had a previous biopsy that indicated positive malignant
margins anteriorly on the right side of her neck. A 0.5 cm margin was drawn out
and a 15 blade scalpel was used for full excision of an 8 cm lesion. Layered closure
was performed after the removal. The specimen was sent for permanent
histopathologic examination. What are the CPT® code(s) for this procedure?

A 30-year-old female is having 15 sq cm debridement performed on an infected
ulcer with eschar on the right foot. Using sharp dissection, the ulcer was debrided
, all the way to down to the bone of the foot. The bone had to be minimally trimmed
because of a sharp point at the end of the metatarsal. After debriding the area, there
was minimal bleeding because of very poor circulation of the foot. It seems that the
toes next to the ulcer may have some involvement and cultures were taken. The
area was dressed with sterile saline and dressings and then wrapped. What CPT®
code should be reported?
A. 11043

A 64-year-old female who has multiple sclerosis fell from her walker and landed
on a glass table. She lacerated her forehead, cheek and chin and the total length of
these lacerations was 6 cm. Her right arm and left leg had deep cuts measuring 5
cm on each extremity. Her right hand and right foot had a total of 3 cm lacerations.
The ED physician repaired the lacerations as follows: The forehead, cheek, and
chin had debridement and cleaning of glass debris with the lacerations being closed
with one layer closure, 6-0 Prolene sutures. The arm and leg were repaired by
layered closure, 6-0 Vicryl subcutaneous sutures and Prolene sutures on the skin.
The hand and foot were closed with adhesive strips. Select the appropriate
procedure codes for this visit.

A 52-year-old female has a mass growing on her right flank for several years. It
has finally gotten significantly larger and is beginning to bother her. She is brought
to the Operating Room for definitive excision. An incision was made directly
overlying the mass. The mass was down into the subcutaneous tissue and the
surgeon encountered a well encapsulated lipoma approximately 4 centimeters. This
was excised primarily bluntly with a few attachments divided with electrocautery.
