About 15793: Nonfacial dermal chemical peel
Reports a chemical peel that reaches the dermal level on skin outside the face, selected by treatment site and peel depth.
A clinician applies a chemical agent to create a controlled peel reaching the dermal level on skin outside the face. Dermatologists and plastic surgeons commonly perform this resurfacing procedure in an office or outpatient facility. The treated area may be on the trunk or an extremity; the site and intended depth distinguish this service from facial peels and nonfacial epidermal peels.
Select this code when the documented treatment is a dermal-depth chemical peel at a nonfacial site. The record should identify the treated location and support the depth and nature of the chemical peel performed. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including 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 other procedures are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
