A strawberry nevus is a benign organism, and so can be coded as a removal. The code number used could be 15120 or 15121.
11222
The ICD-10-CM code for a strawberry nevus (hemangioma) is D18.01, but for the procedure itself, you would need to use the appropriate CPT codes for removal and grafting. The removal of the nevus and the autograft procedure would be coded using specific procedural codes rather than a single ICD-10-CM code. Please consult current coding guidelines for the precise procedural codes based on the specifics of the surgery performed.
The ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM codes are both 86.60. CPT codes 15120, 11446 and 15121 can also be used to specify the exact procedure.
The CPT code for the removal of a strawberry nevus (hemangioma) with an autograft using a split-thickness skin graft is typically 17106 for the excision of a benign skin lesion, plus an additional code for the skin graft procedure. The specific code for the split-thickness skin graft would be 15100 for the first 100 cm² or less, and 15101 for each additional 100 cm² or less. Therefore, the final coding might include 17106, 15100, and 15101, depending on the exact size and details of the procedure. Always verify with the latest CPT code updates and guidelines.
Don't let the '180 cm' remark fool you here. A strawberry nevus is a benign neoplasm. So it should be coded as Removal, Benign Lesion, with the add on code to indicate it was larger than 4cm and the LT modifier: 11440 LT; 11446 LT
no, but there's plastic surgery
There would be more DNA in a strawberry because strawberries are octoploids, they have 8 copies of genes rather than 2 copies found in a cheek cells .
The CPT code for the removal of a nevus with a split-thickness skin graft would depend on specific details, but typically, the removal of a nevus would use codes from the range 11600-11646, depending on the size and location. For the split-thickness skin graft, you would likely use 15100-15102, depending on the area being grafted. It is important to consult the latest CPT coding guidelines or a coding professional to ensure accuracy based on the specifics of the procedure.
