A seborrheic keratosis (seb-o-REE-ik ker-uh-TOE-sis) is a common noncancerous (benign) skin growth. People tend to get more of them as they get older. Seborrheic keratoses are usually brown, black or light tan. The growths (lesions) look waxy or scaly and slightly raised.
An inflamed keratosis is simply a benign skin growth that has become irritated over time. These rough, hard, crusty lesions often itch, bleed, or rub on clothing. They are also referred to as inflamed seborrheic keratoses.
For the destruction of benign lesions (seborrheic keratoses and warts), bill a single unit of code 17110 to treat up to 14 lesions and a single unit of code 17111 for 15 or more.
Acquired keratoderma is a palmoplantar keratoderma that is NOT inherited as a primary genetic condition. It may occur as part of a generalised skin condition (some of which may be inherited) or as a result of another illness.

For debridement of IPKs, trimming of hyperkeratosis, the current coding would be CPT 11055 or CPT 11056 or CPT 11057 (paring/cutting of hyperkeratosis).
For Noridian Medicare states, ICD-9 701.1 (keratoderma), or, perhaps, ICD-9 700 (hyperkeratosis), is to be used. I prefer to only use ICD-9 700 for the asymptomatic lesions and ICD -9 701.1 for symptomatic IPKs; it makes differentiation of intent clearer. You might add a secondary diagnosis of ICD-9 729.5 when the presentation is a symptomatic/painful lesion.
Response: There was a significant shift in billing E/M codes in 2021. You can bill these codes based upon examination finding (conditions/data/complexity risk) or based upon time. You could have always been able to bill on time. For CPT 99204, that requires 45-59 minutes spent, and for CPT 99205 that requires 60-74 minutes spent. Time spent includes reviewing old records, time spent with the patient, preparing the report, etc. The APMA has several webinars on this which might help you understand the 2021 billing guidelines for E/M codes.
Medicare has denied our recent codes for CPT 20550 as well as CPT 64455, for plantar fascia injections and neuroma injections, stating that these are “not medically necessary.” We are having the patient sign ABNs for these so that we can collect payment, however, these codes have been covered in the past. The diagnosis codes being used include M77.51, M77.52 for CPT 20550 as well as G67.61 and G57.62 to code for neuromas. Are we doing something wrong? My biller explained to me that because I am not an anesthesiologist, Medicare is denying the codes.
Response: There is not a CPT code for repositioning implanted hardware. There is not a CPT code for implanting or placing hardware into a specific anatomic site as the sole procedure being performed. It does not appear that a previously performed procedure was repeated or remodeled. There is no indication of a non-union or a mal-union being present. In order to “reposition” hardware, first it needs to be removed.
