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.

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.

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.
