        Note:
        1.When excision of benign, pre-malignant or malignant skin lesions are corrected by
            a.Advancement flap including undermining of more than 2.5 cm per side, or
            b.Rotation, transposition, Z-plasty, or
            c.Other flap or graft
        claim the appropriate benefit listed under Skin Flaps and Grafts Section instead of foregoing
        excision benefits.
        2.Excision by S-plasty technique is considered a form of simple excision rather than a
          reconstructive flap.
