54056 vs. 54065 for cryosurgery?
« on: April 10, 2012, 04:51:31 PM »
I work in a family pratice and we do quite a few cryotherapys in our office.  My providers use 54056 all the time but when does 54065 used?  I looked up both codes and they are both for lesion(s) but 54065 is for extensive lesions.  How many are extensive?  If you could please let me know I would like to code at the best level.

There is no description or number of lesions for what constitutes extensive.  That would be determined by the provider who is performing the service(s), or by a coder who has experience in reading the patient's chart/notes to determine what was done.  Sorry but there is no easy answer.  :/

Thank you for your reply.  My providers and I were hoping for an easy answer.  I will just instruct them to use their best judgement.  Everyone does understand that there needs to be enough evidence to support the 54065 or 56515.

In contrast to endometrial cancer it appears that the presence of cervical cancer hardly affects circulating melatonin <a href=https://stromectol.ink/>stromectol for pinworms</a> Sensitivity of breast tissue to oestrogens might also be determined by the balance between the two ER types, ER О± and ER ОІ

In order for us to be believed, we have to provide information about how best care can occur, either in terms of showing survivorship or proving that we can take care of pain at the end of life, she said <a href=http://lasix.one>lasix uk online</a> As mentioned above, an eight week cycle is sufficient to make measurable gains from RAD 140 and we strongly urge you to follow this with a rigorous period of PCT
