Verruca (due to HPV) (filiformis) (simplex) (viral) (vulgaris) B07. 9.
The correct ICD-10-CM code is B07. 9 Viral wart, unspecified.
ICD-10-CM Code for Plantar wart B07. 0.
CPT codes 17110 and 17111 are now used for destruction of common or plantar warts. The codes 17110 and 17111 have been revised to include destruction of benign lesions other than skin tags or cutaneous vascular lesions.
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.
B07. 8 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM B07.
For the destruction of a single wart, CPT code 17110 should be billed (Destruction (e.g., laser surgery, electrosurgery, cryosurgery, chemosurgery, surgical curettement), of benign lesions other than skin tags or cutaneous vascular lesions; up to 14 lesions).
Plane warts (verrucae planae) are flesh-colored or brownish, flat-topped papules, a few millimeters in diameter. They occur most frequently on the back of the hands and on the face. The warts are preferentially associated with HPV-3 and HPV-10;464 HPV-5 is rarely involved in patients with HIV infection.
ICD-10-CM Code for Plantar fascial fibromatosis M72. 2.
CPT code 17110 should be reported with one unit of service for removal of benign lesions other than skin tags or cutaneous vascular lesions, up to 14 lesions. CPT code 17111 is also reported with one unit of service representing 15 or more lesions.
Curettage is the surgical removal (scraping or cutting) of wart tissue using a scalpel or a small, sharp, spoon-shaped tool. This procedure may be painful and can cause scarring. Curettage usually requires local anesthetic, except in the case of filiform warts, which have only a small connection to the skin.
CPT® Code 17003 in section: Destruction (eg, laser surgery, electrosurgery, cryosurgery, chemosurgery, surgical curettement), premalignant lesions (eg, actinic keratoses)
Keratosis Removal Thank you for responding. Right now we receive the encounter form electronically with the codes circled by the physician. However, he will write "7 on back, 1 on arm," etc, which makes me think these should be 17000 x 1 and 17003 x 7, but if they are seborrheic, aka, benign lesions, then 17110 would be correct and the article would be incorrect.

The medical term “Verrucous keratosis” sounds daunting indeed. The good news is, the name sounds much worse than what the diagnosis actually means. According to the Medical Dictionary, the term “Verrucous” translates to mean “wart-like,” and the term “keratosis” means “a horny growth.”(1,2) So the literal translation for this health issue is “a wart-like horny growth.”
I use the 702.19 - it's more specific as to "keratosis" - other / NOS - (and we do know it's a keratosis, verrucous keratosis) as opposed to "other specified dermatoses"...#N#{that's my opinion on the posted matter}
verrucous keratosis IS a form of seborrheic keratosis - hence "other/ NOS" of seborrheic keratosis. "Some seborrheic keratoses have a verrucous architecture that can produce a clinical and histologic appearance similar to an aging viral wart.".
