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

What 17111 covers

This service covers destruction of 15 or more benign skin lesions in a treatment session, using methods such as cryotherapy, electrosurgery, chemical treatment, laser, or curettage. Dermatologists, primary care clinicians, and other qualified practitioners commonly treat lesions such as common warts and seborrheic keratoses in office settings. Skin tags and cutaneous vascular proliferative lesions are outside this code’s lesion group.

Select this code when the total number of eligible lesions treated reaches 15; for 14 or fewer, consider 17110. Document the lesion count, clinical findings, locations, and treatment performed. Medicare assigns a 10-day global period, so related postoperative visits during that period are included. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service, and co-surgeon and team-surgery reporting are not permitted.
