I remember 11400 is for excising skin lesions, so it seems too low for this case. I think it's between 38550 and 38555.

I feel like 38555 is for more complex cases, but I can't recall the specifics. Did we cover the differences in class?

I practiced a similar question about excising a cystic hygroma, and I think it was related to 38550, but I could be mixing it up with another procedure.

I think I remember that cystic hygromas are often coded under the excision codes, but I'm not sure which one fits best.
