Cyst Removal

JRPATJRPAT
in Home Care Coding General
My patient had their colloid cyst removed. Would I code G93.0 in M1023 or would I resolve it and only code in M1011 and M1017?

    If it is removed it is coded only on M1011, M1017 and Z48.817- encounter
    for surgical aftercare following surgery on the skin and subcutanweous
    tissue is coded on M1021. If you are changing bandages you can also add
    Z48.01- Encounter for change or removal of surgical wound dressing.

    Jessica I am so sorry I made a mistake the code in M1023 is z48.811 because
    this was a surgical procedure in the nervous system.
