About 11200: Removal of up to 15 skin tags
Report this service for removal of up to 15 skin tags, such as irritated acrochordons, during a single procedure session.
This service covers removal of one or more skin tags, also called acrochordons, when the total is no more than 15. A dermatologist, primary care clinician, or other qualified practitioner commonly performs it in an office. Tags may be removed individually with snipping or another appropriate removal technique; the code applies to tags from any body area. Examples include tags that rub against clothing or become irritated in skin folds.
Count the tags treated in the session: report this code for the first 15, then use 11201 for each additional 10 tags or part of 10. Document the number and treated sites, along with the clinical reason for removal and relevant symptoms. The 10-day global period includes related postoperative visits during that period. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
