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

What 11719 covers

CPT 11719 represents trimming nails during foot care, typically by a podiatrist or other clinician in an office or facility. The descriptor allows any number of nails. It is distinct from debridement of thickened nails and from procedures that remove a nail plate. The service may be part of care for a patient whose clinical circumstances make nail trimming medically necessary under applicable coverage criteria.

Medicare pays this service only in specific circumstances. Document the clinical reason for trimming, the nails treated, and the findings that support coverage. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are paid at 50%. The code covers any number of nails, so modifier 50 is not appropriate. Assistant-at-surgery services are not paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
