What 11056 covers

A clinician pares or cuts two to four benign hyperkeratotic lesions, commonly corns or calluses, to reduce thickened tissue. Podiatrists frequently perform this service on the feet; other clinicians may treat lesions at other sites. The code reflects the number of lesions treated, not the number of cuts or the area of tissue removed.

Report 11056 once for two to four lesions; use the neighboring codes for a different lesion count. Document the number and location of lesions, their hyperkeratotic nature, the treatment performed, and the circumstances supporting Medicare coverage. Medicare pays this service only in specific circumstances. It has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When other procedures subject to the standard multiple procedure reduction are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery, and co-surgeon and team-surgery billing are not permitted.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

11056 billing questions

When should 11056 be selected instead of 11055 or 11057?

Use 11056 when two to four benign hyperkeratotic lesions are pared or cut. Use 11055 for one lesion and 11057 for more than four.

Is 11056 reported once per lesion?

No. Report the code once for the session when two to four lesions are treated; do not submit one unit for each lesion.

What documentation supports Medicare coverage?

Record the number and sites of the lesions, their hyperkeratotic character, the service performed, and the circumstances that meet Medicare's coverage requirements.

Does 11056 have a postoperative global period?

It has a 0-day global period. Same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included.

Can modifier 50 be used for lesions on both feet?

No. The bilateral adjustment does not apply to this code, and modifier 50 is inappropriate.

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be billed for this service?

Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for 11056. Co-surgeon and team-surgery billing are not permitted.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
