Biopsy Following Mohs Surgery
I have received conflicting information and would appreciate clarification. I had a patient referred to me by a family physician for a possible basal cell carcinoma. The patient has never had a biopsy. I did a punch biopsy and the diagnostic frozen section which confirmed a morpheaform basal cell carcinoma and performed a stage 2 Mohs procedure 17311 and 17312. Can I bill for the biopsy even when I did the Mohs surgery on the same date?
