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.
ICD-10 code: L91. 8 Other hypertrophic disorders of skin.
Skin tags (acrochordons) are small, noncancerous growths that tend to be the same color as your skin. They often look like a cluster of skin tissue extending out from a tiny stem.
17000 is for the first lesion. If up to 14 lesions are fulgerated you would use 17000 (first lesion) AND 17003 (2nd thru 14) and for 15 or more you would only use code 17004. Code 17110 is used just once for up to 14 lesions, if 15 or more then you would use 17111.
Do not use modifier -51 (multiple procedure) with skin tag codes, as the codes are based on the number of lesions removed. Biopsy is bundled into the excision (removal) service so you do not code it separately.

CPT® 11200, Under Removal of Skin Tags Procedures The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code 11200 as maintained by American Medical Association, is a medical procedural code under the range - Removal of Skin Tags Procedures.
The external ear forms early in development when six soft tissue swellings (hillocks) fuse together. When the soft tissue fuses together incorrectly, additional appendages may form in front of the ear. These are called preauricular tags and are comprised of skin, fat or cartilage.
While most tags typically are small (2 mm-5 mm in diameter) at approximately one-third to one-half the size of a pencil eraser, some skin tags may become as large as a big grape (1 cm in diameter) or a fig (5 cm in diameter).
“Skin tags are small skin growths that commonly occur in the fleshy folds of your skin. They are usually about 2 to 5 millimeters in size — the size of a tiny pebble — but can sometimes grow larger — up to half an inch,” explains Kateryna Kiselova, DO, physician at Penn Family Medicine Valley Forge.
Skin Tag Identification At times, a skin tag may turn purple or black. This is known as a clotted skin tag, or thrombosed skin tag. This occurs when the blood supply to the skin tag is inadequate. In most cases, these skin tags will fall off on their own within 3 to 10 days time.

A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere.
All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm. Morphology [Histology] Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, ...
The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code. In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes. Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries.
