The CPT Assistant July 2008 article titled "Coding Communication: Adjacent Tissue Transfer

The CPT Assistant July 2008 article titled "Coding Communication: Adjacent Tissue Transfer or Rearrangement" notes, "If two lesions from the same anatomical classification are removed, with both of the resulting defects requiring adjacent tissue transfer closure, the appropriate code from the 14000-14300 series may be reported for each tissue transfer (eg, flap advancement) performed, provided the defects have distinct margins and are not contiguous." Does this advice still apply to CPT codes 14301 and 14302?
