The coder should report CPT code 11106 for the primary procedure, as this describes an incisional biopsy, and add-on codes 11105 and 11103 for the punch and tangential biopsies, respectively.
No, CPT does not have a code for excisional biopsy. It is either a biopsy (11100 or 11101) or a benign or malignant excision code. (114xx, 116xx). It is important to use the appropriate terminology in the documentation to make it clear what type of procedure is performed.

The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a catalog of procedural codes used by medical professionals for hospital inpatient healthcare settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates. These 2022 ICD-10-PCS codes are to be used for discharges occurring from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.
Each ICD-10-PCS code has a structure of seven alphanumeric characters and contains no decimals . The first character defines the major "section". Depending on the "section" the second through seventh characters mean different things.
