Frequently Asked Questions
Efficient dermatology billing is crucial to providing high-quality skin care. However, providers have their concerns regarding the process. Below we have answered some questions that they frequently ask. Whether you’re practicing dermatology individually or affiliated with a hospital, these will effectively clear your confusion. Let’s have a look:
1) What is the billing code for skin removal?
Most dermatology “skin removal” means lesion excision, billed with CPT codes 11400-11646 by anatomic site and lesion size. Destruction of benign lesions uses the 17110-17286 series, while 15837-15839 apply specifically to excision of excessive skin and subcutaneous tissue — a different scenario entirely.
2) How do I bill for dermatopathology services?
Dermatopathology billing requires complete documentation of each analyzed specimen — its type and location — with the correct CPT pathology codes applied per specimen. Because each submitted specimen is billed separately, incomplete specimen documentation is the most common reason these claims underpay.
3) How do I handle billing for teledermatology?
Teledermatology is billed with the same evaluation or procedure codes as in-person care, documented for medical necessity and submitted with modifier 95 for commercial payers or place of service 02 for Medicare. A HIPAA-compliant platform and session documentation complete the requirements.
