Two single-stage Mohs surgeries are performed on the same day—one on the right forehead and the other on the right hand. Both defects are repaired with a complex repair with a final repair length of 3.4 cm for the surgical site on the forehead and 2.4 cm for the repair length on the hand. The medical record is appropriately documented. Should the procedures be reported with the Mohs surgery codes (17311-17315) and complex repair codes (13131, 13132)?
