    "description": "Treatment of a large crop of precancerous skin lesions, usually actinic keratoses, in a single session, where fifteen or more spots are frozen or otherwise destroyed. It replaces the per-lesion counting used for smaller numbers: when the count reaches this threshold, the whole session is reported with this one code instead. As with all destruction codes, the lesions are killed in place and no tissue goes to pathology.",
