Would an excision of the left axilla arm pit mass down to the fascia with a size of 7x8cm be 23073?
Provider also did a complex advancement flap 7x6cm closure 14031.
Since the excision is down to the fascia I would code both the excision and the advanced closure?
Provider stated he excised a fatty mass and path report states mass is just breast tissue.
Or do i only report the complex flap that includes the excision?
I thought if it was deep into the fascia to use the 23073 but then the advancement flaps also includes excision.
So I would code both since the the flap would only cover full thickness and down to the fascia..
