ICD-10 code M79. 602 for Pain in left arm is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Soft tissue disorders .
The axilla is an anatomical region under the shoulder joint where the arm connects to the shoulder. It contains a variety of neurovascular structures, including the axillary artery, axillary vein, brachial plexus, and lymph nodes.
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.
A skin tag is a common soft harmless lesion that appears to hang off the skin. It is also described as: Acrochordon. Papilloma.
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.
* : Other hypertrophic and atrophic conditions of skin. A chronic disorder, possibly autoimmune, marked by excessive production of collagen which results in hardening and thickening of body tissues.

For example, take this LCD... L91.8 for Skin tags is listed in Group 2, requiring a DX from Group 3 for coverage (medical necessity).
For the second diagnosis use the link to the LCD that I posted previously L91.8 is shown as a Group 2 code. By itself, usually isn't covered for most carriers.
Billing 11200 (up to 15) with L91.8 alone should get them rejected if they were cosmetic and not irritated.
In the past insurance has paid both the L91.8 and the L53.8 in that area of 11200 (we are in PA if that makes a difference) if the notes have been called for and the insurance has flagged te claim if the notes support that they were irritated usually they just go and pay the claim. The issue here was patient paid as a cosmetic patient for removal but the notes and billing by dr were for a 11100 and 11200 so it was very confusing from the start and obviously a concern.
