What 17107 covers
This code covers destruction of cutaneous vascular proliferative lesions, commonly using a laser technique. Dermatologists and other physicians who treat vascular skin lesions may perform it in an office or facility setting. The code is selected by the total area treated: 10 through 50 square centimeters. Examples of lesions treated in this code family include port-wine stains and hemangiomas.
Document the lesion type, the treatment method, and measurements supporting the total treated surface area. Select the smaller-area or larger-area sibling when the total falls outside this range. The procedure has a 90-day global period, which includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted. Modifier 50 is inappropriate.

How to choose
- 17106Vascular lesion destructionUnder 10 square centimeters
- Use 17106 when the total treated area is below 10 square centimeters; 17107 covers 10 through 50 square centimeters.
- 17108Vascular lesion destructionMore than 50 sq cm
- Use 17108 when the total treated area exceeds 50 square centimeters; 17107 covers 10 through 50 square centimeters.
- 17110Benign lesion destructionUp to 14 lesions
- 17110 concerns destruction of other benign skin lesions, rather than cutaneous vascular proliferative lesions. Do not select it just because the procedure also destroys tissue.
- 17111Lesion destruction15 or more benign lesions
- 17111 is for destruction of other benign skin lesions according to lesion count; 17107 is for vascular proliferative lesions selected by treated area.
17107 billing questions
How is 17107 distinguished from 17106 and 17108?
Choose by the total area treated: 17107 applies to 10 through 50 square centimeters. The adjacent codes cover smaller and larger areas, respectively.
Is the code based on lesion count or treated area?
It is selected by treated area, not by the number of vascular lesions. Record measurements that support the total area treated.
Can 17107 be billed with another procedure performed in the same session?
When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others are subject to the standard 50% reduction.
Should modifier 50 be appended for lesions on both sides?
No. The CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply to this code, and modifier 50 is inappropriate.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
Can an assistant, co-surgeon, or surgical team be reported?
Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service. Co-surgeons and team surgery 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.
