Why dermatology is different
Dermatology coding hinges on lesion size, site and pathology results, and the cosmetic-versus-medical distinction — get the excision size or diagnosis wrong and you either underbill or trigger a review.
We code biopsies by technique, excisions by benign/malignant, size and location, destruction and Mohs surgery, split pathology into professional and technical components, and protect same-day E/M with modifier 25.
What our dermatology billing covers
- Biopsies by technique — tangential, punch, incisional (11102–11107)
- Lesion excisions by benign/malignant, size and body site
- Destruction of lesions (17000/17110) and cryotherapy
- Mohs micrographic surgery (17311+) staged and coded correctly
- Pathology split into professional (26) and technical (TC) components
- Same-day E/M protected with modifier 25; cosmetic vs medical flagged
