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.
Fibroepithelial polyp of the skin should be coded to L91. 8 Other hypertrophic disorders of skin by looking up 'tag, skin' in the index.

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.

The ICD code L918 is used to code Acrochordon. An acrochordon (plural acrochorda; also known as a skin tag or fibroepithelial polyp) is a small benign tumor that forms primarily in areas where the skin forms creases, such as the neck, armpit, and groin. They may also occur on the face, usually on the eyelids.
Acrochorda are harmless, are typically painless and usually do not grow or change over time. Though tags up to a half-inch long have been seen, they are typically the size of a grain of rice.
