Dermatology procedure

About 17110: Destruction of benign skin lesions, up to 14

Destruction of one to 14 benign skin lesions, such as common or plantar warts and molluscum, by cryotherapy, electrosurgery, chemical treatment, laser, or curettage.

This service covers destroying benign skin lesions other than skin tags and cutaneous vascular proliferative lesions. Typical targets include common warts (verruca vulgaris), plantar warts, flat warts, and molluscum contagiosum. The lesions are destroyed rather than excised, most often with liquid nitrogen cryotherapy, but also with electrodesiccation, chemical agents such as cantharidin, laser, or curettage. Dermatologists, podiatrists, family physicians, pediatricians, and advanced practice providers perform it, predominantly in the office setting.

Report one unit for any count from 1 through 14 lesions treated in the session, regardless of how many anatomic sites are involved; at 15 or more, report 17111 instead. Documentation should state the lesion type, locations, total number treated, and destruction method. The code has a 10-day global period, so related postoperative visits are included. When performed with other procedures in the same session, the standard multiple procedure reduction applies: the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate because lesions on both sides are counted together. Assistant-at-surgery services are not paid; co-surgeon and team surgery arrangements are not permitted.

For 17110 in Chico, the physician’s office rate is $118.80 and the facility-setting rate is $65.35: a difference of $53.45.

17110 billing questions

How many units are reported for eight warts treated on both hands?

One unit. The code covers 1 through 14 lesions per session, and lesions on different sites or sides are counted together rather than reported separately or with modifier 50.

When should 17111 be used instead?

Use 17111 when 15 or more benign lesions are destroyed in the session. It replaces this code rather than being added to it, so do not report both for the same session.

Can an office visit be billed on the same day?

Only when a significant, separately identifiable E/M service is documented beyond the decision to treat the lesions, reported with modifier 25. Routine assessment of the warts being treated is part of the procedure.

Are repeat cryotherapy sessions within 10 days billable?

Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included. A separately performed repeat destruction needs documentation supporting its circumstances; modifier 58 may fit planned staged treatment, while modifier 79 is reserved for an unrelated procedure.

Should actinic keratoses be reported with this code?

No. Actinic keratoses are premalignant lesions reported with 17000, 17003, or 17004 according to the lesion count. This code is for benign lesions.

Is destruction of genital warts reported here?

Penile and vulvar warts have site-specific destruction codes, including 54050-54065 and 56501-56515; anal warts have codes in the 46900-46924 series. Select the code by site and treatment method.
