what is the correct cpt® code for the excision of a benign lesion on the scalp with an excised diameter of 2.3 cm (this includes margins)? o 11603 o 11423 o 11403 o 11623

Explanation:

CPT (Current - Procedural - Terminology) codes are used in medical billing. For the excision of a benign lesion on the scalp with an excised diameter of 2.3 cm (including margins), code 11403 is typically used for lesions 1.1 - 2.0 cm in diameter and code 11423 is for lesions 2.1 - 3.0 cm in diameter. Since the diameter here is 2.3 cm, the correct code is 11423.

Answer:

B. 11423
