Excision procedures appear throughout the Musculoskeletal System section of the CPT® guidelines — but understanding how to correctly report excision vs. repair, incision & drainage, or biopsy can be challenging. In this episode of the AMCI Medical Coding Podcast, Mrs. Jay takes you step-by-step through CPT® excision coding, explaining terminology, technique distinctions, and documentation clues that make all the difference in surgical coding accuracy.
You’ll learn:
✅ How to identify when an excision is separate vs. integral to another procedure
✅ The difference between excision, resection, and removal of foreign body in CPT® terms
✅ When to apply layered repair or debridement codes (and when not to)
✅ What documentation details are key for excision depth and anatomic site
✅ How to interpret CPT guidelines and parenthetical notes for musculoskeletal excisions
💎 MJ Gem: Always code the specific structure excised — not the surgical approach. CPT distinguishes procedures by what tissue was removed, not how the surgeon got there.
💡 Whether you’re preparing for the CPC, CCS-P, or CCS, or just refining your musculoskeletal coding expertise, this episode gives you the forensic insight to code excision procedures with confidence and precision.
