The CPT code for laser destruction of malignant skin lesions varies based on the specific circumstances. For the destruction of malignant skin lesions, you would typically use codes like 17260-17268 for the lesions on the skin. However, for the eyes, you may refer to codes in the range of 67210-67230 for laser treatment of malignant lesions. It's essential to consult the most recent CPT coding guidelines or a coding specialist for precise coding based on the specific procedure and circumstances.
benign or malignant
CPT code 17003 refers to the destruction of malignant skin lesions, specifically for the destruction of up to 14 lesions. This procedure typically involves methods like cryotherapy, electrosurgery, or laser treatment. It is used by healthcare providers to bill for the removal of multiple skin lesions that are diagnosed as malignant. Proper documentation and coding are essential to ensure appropriate reimbursement for the services rendered.
The treatment for liver lesions depends on whether or not the lesions are malignant or benign. Surgical intervention is recommended for malignant liver lesions.
The appropriate CPT code for laser destruction of malignant lesions, regardless of the number of lesions, is typically 17260 for the first lesion and then additional codes for each subsequent lesion, depending on their sizes. Given the sizes you provided, you would likely use 17260 for the first lesion and 17261 for each additional lesion. However, since the total area exceeds certain thresholds, you may need to reference specific guidelines or consult with a coding specialist for the exact coding based on the combined total surface area.
The CPT code for the destruction by laser of premalignant actinic keratosis lesions is 17110 for the first 14 lesions treated. Since you are treating three lesions, you would use this code, as it covers the destruction of multiple lesions in a single session. If more than 14 lesions were treated in a single session, additional codes may apply. Always verify with the latest coding guidelines and payer policies for accuracy.
The appropriate CPT code for the destruction by electrosurgery of multiple lesions, including papillomas, is typically 17110, which covers the destruction of benign lesions (up to 14). If more than 14 lesions are treated, additional codes may be applicable. It's essential to verify with the latest CPT guidelines and payer policies to ensure accurate coding.
The CPT code for the excision of a malignant lesion depends on the size and location of the lesions. For a 2.5 cm malignant lesion of the lip, you would typically use 14040 (excision, malignant lesion, lip). For the two malignant lesions on the chest, you would use codes such as 11602 (excision, malignant lesion, chest, excised diameter of 1.1 cm to 2.0 cm) or 11603 (excised diameter of 2.1 cm to 3.0 cm), depending on their sizes. Accurate coding may require specific details about the lesions and excised margins.
