Dermatology procedure

About 17360: Chemical exfoliation for acne

Report chemical exfoliation when a clinician applies an exfoliating treatment to manage acne, rather than extracting comedones or freezing acne lesions.

This office-based dermatology service uses a chemical exfoliating treatment to address acne. Dermatologists and other qualified clinicians may perform it as part of an acne treatment plan. The record should identify the acne being treated, the treatment performed, and the area treated; describe the service as acne-directed rather than routine skin care.

Report the service for the chemical treatment performed, with documentation supporting the acne indication and procedure. Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included. If multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. Do not use modifier 50 for bilateral treatment. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service, and co-surgeon and team-surgery reporting are not permitted.
