Question: How should I code the following: the physician performed a wide excision of recurrent melanoma on the patient’s back, sentinel lymph node biopsy of groin and axilla. The physician also completed split-thickness skin grafting of the wide excision site on the patient’s back. I know that I should choose from 11606, 38500-59, 38525-59, or 15100, but which codes should I report and in what order? Also, do I need any modifiers?
