Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

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.
