Pаtient is аn 81-yeаr-оld male with a biоpsy-prоven basal cell carcinoma of the posterior neck just near his hairline; additionally, the patient had two other areas of concern on his cheek. Informed consent was obtained and the areas were prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. Attention was first directed to the basal cell carcinoma of the neck. I excised the lesion measuring 2.6 cm as drawn down to the subcutaneous fat. With extensive undermining of the wound I closed it in layers using 4.0 Monocryl, 5.0 Prolene and 6.0 Prolene; the wound measured 4.5 cm. Attention was then directed to the other two suspicious lesions on his cheek. After administering local anesthesia, I proceeded to take a 3 mm punch biopsy of each lesion and was able to close with 5.0 Prolene. The patient tolerated the procedures well. Pathology later showed the basal cell carcinoma was completely removed and the biopsies indicated actinic keratosis. What CPT® codes should be reported?
