Dermatology procedure

About 17340: Acne lesion cryotherapy

Cryotherapy for acne lesions is reported when a clinician applies a controlled cold treatment as an acne-directed dermatologic procedure.

A dermatologist or other qualified clinician applies a controlled cold treatment, commonly using liquid nitrogen, to acne-affected skin. The service is typically performed in an outpatient dermatology setting to treat acne lesions; it is distinct from freezing benign lesions for a different diagnosis.

Report the service when the treatment is specifically directed at acne. Documentation should identify the acne indication, treated site or sites, and procedure performed. Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included. 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. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. An assistant at surgery is not paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

17340 billing questions

How does this differ from chemical exfoliation for acne?

This code represents cold treatment directed at acne. Report chemical exfoliation for acne with 17360 when that is the procedure performed.

Should modifier 50 be appended for acne on both sides of the face?

No. The CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply, and modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code.

Are related visits included after the procedure?

Yes. Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included.

How are multiple procedures in the same session paid?

The highest-valued procedure is paid in full; other procedures in that session are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction.

Can an assistant, co-surgeon, or surgical team be reported?

An assistant at surgery is not paid. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

What should the record show?

Document that the treatment was for acne, the treated site or sites, and the cryotherapy performed.
