About 11201: Removal of Additional Skin Tags
Report this add-on for removal of skin tags beyond the first 15, counting each additional 10 lesions or part of 10 with the primary service.
This add-on covers removal of additional skin tags after the first 15 have been addressed. Skin tags are commonly treated when they catch on clothing or jewelry, become irritated, or interfere with care; typical sites include the neck, underarms, and groin. A physician or other qualified practitioner may remove them in an office or outpatient setting using an appropriate technique such as snipping, electrosurgery, or cryotherapy.
Report 11201 with 11200, not as a stand-alone service. The primary code covers up to 15 tags; report one unit of this add-on for each additional 10 lesions or part of 10. Document the total number removed, the sites, and the treatment performed so the primary service and additional units are supported. CMS treats this as an add-on paid within the primary procedure’s global period.

11201 billing questions
When is 11201 reported instead of 11200?
Use 11200 for removal of up to 15 skin tags. Add 11201 for tags beyond that initial group, counting each additional 10 or part of 10.
Can 11201 be billed by itself?
No. It is an add-on code and must be reported with 11200 as the primary procedure.
How many units should be reported?
Report one unit for each additional group of 10 tags, or any remaining portion of a group, after the first 15.
What should the procedure note include?
Document the number of tags removed, their locations, and the technique used. The count should support the units billed in addition to the first 15.
Does the add-on have its own global period?
CMS identifies 11201 as an add-on paid within the primary procedure’s global period.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
