The CPT code for the excision of a malignant lip lesion is typically 14040, which covers excision of a malignant lesion on the lip, including margins. For the excision of two malignant skin lesions of the chest, you would use the appropriate code based on the size and location, likely 11602 for the first 1.5 cm lesion and 11602 or 11603 for the second, depending on the specific coding guidelines. It’s essential to check the current coding guidelines and any applicable modifiers for accurate billing.
