About 11730: Simple single nail plate avulsion
Reports simple partial or complete removal of one nail plate, such as for a painful ingrown nail or a damaged, detached nail.
This service removes part or all of one nail plate by simple avulsion, without excising the nail matrix. Common situations include a painful ingrown nail, a detached or damaged nail, or removal needed to address local nail pathology. Podiatrists, dermatologists, and other clinicians who perform minor procedures commonly provide it in an office or outpatient setting.
Report one unit for the first nail treated; use 11732 for each additional nail plate avulsed in the same session. Document the affected digit, the reason for removal, and whether the removal was partial or complete. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and 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 for this code. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

11730 billing questions
When should 11730 be used instead of 11750?
Use 11730 for simple removal of part or all of the nail plate without excising the nail matrix. 11750 describes excision involving the nail and matrix.
How is a second nail treated in the same session reported?
Report 11730 for the first nail and 11732 for each additional nail plate avulsed.
Can modifier 50 be used when nails on both feet are treated?
No. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for 11730; report the additional nail using 11732 when applicable.
Is nail trimming or debridement included in 11730?
The code reports nail plate avulsion, not routine trimming or debridement. Those services describe different work and should not be substituted for removal of the plate.
What documentation supports reporting 11730?
Record the digit and side, the clinical reason for removal, and whether the nail plate was removed partially or completely. The record should support that an avulsion was performed.
How does the multiple procedure rule affect payment?
For procedures performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care.
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.
