Separately identifiable E/M?

I'm not sure if I should code a separate E/M visit for this encounter or just the procedure. I guess because the diagnoses are so closely related, I'm unsure:

Pt presents with warts and is also concerned about a mole and would like referral to dermatology. Exam reveals warts and a hyperpigmented irregular nevus. The warts are treated with liquid nitrogen and a referral is made for the nevus/mole.


078.10, 17110

448.1 (E/M with modifier 25 associated with this diagnosis or is it included above?)


Thanks in advance!
