CPT Knowledgebase - Jul 27, 2006

We would like clarification on the use of the Destruction series 17000-17004. We are destroying 15 lesions. When reporting these services, should we report the codes cumulatively (reporting each code together to represent the number of destructions performed), or should we report only one code to describe the number of lesions destroyed?
