Skin tags. For removal of skin tags by any method, use codes 11200 and 11201. For the first 15 skin tags removed, use code 11200. For each additional 10 skin tags removed, also report code 11201. For example, if you removed 35 skin tags, then you would submit codes 11200, 11201 and 11201.

455.7 - Unspecified thrombosed hemorrhoids. ICD-10-CM.
Hemorrhoids are highly vascular submucosal cushions that generally lie along the anal canal in three columns—the left lateral, right anterior, and right posterior positions.
A thrombosed hemorrhoid occurs when a blood clot forms inside a hemorrhoidal vein, obstructing blood flow and causing a painful swelling of the anal tissues. Thrombosed hemorrhoids are not dangerous, but they can be very painful and cause rectal bleeding if they become ulcerated.
For skin tag removal, you code 11200 for removing the first 15 lesions, and then you add code 11201 for removal of each additional 10 lesions.

Hemorrhoids are simply blood vessels, which require attention only if they become inflamed. Correct hemorrhoid coding depends on documentation that specifies the type (internal, external, or “mixed”) and number of hemorrhoids treated, as well as the treatment method.#N#Codes to identify treatment for internal hemorrhoids have undergone minor descriptor revisions to clarify application, while two codes have been resequenced from the “Destruction” subhead to appear more appropriately under the “Excision” subhead. Other relevant codes are unchanged for 2010, but CPT® has added specific instruction for appropriate code application, as outlined below, just after the “Anus” subhead.
An external thrombosed hemorrhoid may resolve into a skin tag or papilla, which the surgeon may remove. Removal of a single tag/papilla is reported with 46220 Excision of single external papilla or tag, anus, while removal of two or more tags/papillae is reported with 46230 Excision of multiple external papillae or tags, anus.
