To bill for both CPT codes 99214 (an established office visit) and 17250 (destruction of benign skin lesions), ensure that the documentation supports the medical necessity for both services. Typically, you would bill 99214 for the office visit and 17250 for the procedure performed during that visit. It's important to use appropriate modifiers if necessary to indicate that both services are distinct and not bundled. Always check for payer-specific guidelines to ensure compliance with billing practices.
