What 11750 covers

CPT 11750 represents a nail procedure intended to stop regrowth: the clinician removes part or all of the nail plate and excises or destroys the corresponding matrix. It is commonly used for a recurrent ingrown toenail or persistently deformed nail when permanent removal of the involved portion is planned. Podiatrists, dermatologists, and other clinicians qualified to perform nail surgery typically do this in an office under local anesthesia; it may also be performed in an outpatient facility.

Document the specific nail, the extent of nail removal, treatment of the matrix, and the clinical reason for choosing a permanent approach. A simple nail-plate avulsion with the matrix left intact is a different service. The 10-day global period includes related postoperative visits. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others are subject to the standard 50% reduction. 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.

Does 11750 have a postoperative global period?

Yes. Its 10-day global period includes related postoperative visits during that period.

No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the standard multiple-procedure reduction applies.

Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service. 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.
