A surgeon performed Mohs micrographic surgery on a lesion on the lower leg. This required one stage with six tissue blocks. A direct skin flap was used to cover the defect. What CPT® codes are reported for the Mohs surgery and the repair?
from 1st stage of lesion on lower leg , the surgeon divided the lesion into 6 tissue blocks.
code 17311 can be coded only for first stage, up to 5 tissue blocks. additional tissue block (1) should be coded with 17315 (additional block after first 5 tissue blocks).
