What 11200 covers

This service covers removal of one or more skin tags, also called acrochordons, when the total is no more than 15. A dermatologist, primary care clinician, or other qualified practitioner commonly performs it in an office. Tags may be removed individually with snipping or another appropriate removal technique; the code applies to tags from any body area. Examples include tags that rub against clothing or become irritated in skin folds.

Count the tags treated in the session: report this code for the first 15, then use 11201 for each additional 10 tags or part of 10. Document the number and treated sites, along with the clinical reason for removal and relevant symptoms. The 10-day global period includes related postoperative visits during that period. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service; co-surgeons and team surgery 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.

11200 billing questions

When is 11201 reported with this code?

Use 11200 for the first 15 skin tags and 11201 for each additional 10 tags or part of 10. For example, 16 treated tags require 11200 and one unit of 11201.

What documentation supports reporting 11200?

Record the number of tags removed, their body sites, and the clinical reason for removal. Note relevant symptoms, such as irritation or repeated rubbing, when present.

Can modifier 50 be used for tags on both sides of the body?

No. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this service, including when tags are removed from both sides.

How does the 10-day global period affect follow-up?

Related postoperative visits during the 10 days after the procedure are included in the global period.

How is 11200 distinguished from 17110?

11200 is for skin tags. Code 17110 is for destruction of qualifying benign lesions other than skin tags and cutaneous vascular proliferative lesions.

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.
