Diagnosis Code 700. ICD-9: 700. Short Description: Corns and callosities. Long Description: Corns and callosities. This is the 2014 version of the ICD-9-CM diagnosis code 700.
Corns or calluses that press on underlying tissues causing pain, such as corns that form on the toes or calluses that form on the bottom of the feet often require removal. The thickened area of skin is pared down or trimmed using a scalpel. Use 11055 for a single lesion, 11056 for two to four lesions, or 11057 for more than four lesions.

ICD-10 code: B35. 1 Tinea unguium | gesund.bund.de.
Calluses are hard and thick patches of skin. Compared with corns, calluses are larger and have a more irregular (more spread out) shape. You are most likely to see calluses on the bottom of your foot on the bony areas that carry your weight – your heel, big toe, the ball of your foot and along the side of your foot.
L84 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 L84 became effective on October 1, 2021.

ICD-10 code M79. 67 for Pain in foot and toes is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Soft tissue disorders .
True Blue. The codes 11055-11057 would be the correct code as the corn or callus does not specify a specific body area. A general description of the procedure is: A benign hyperkeratotic lesion such as a corn or callus is removed by paring or cutting. A corn is a small area of thickened skin.
A corn is a small area of thickened skin. A callus is a larger area of thickened skin. Corns or calluses that press on underlying tissues causing pain, such as corns that form on the toes or calluses that form on the bottom of the feet often require removal.
#3. The reason these codes are not covered isn't because they are podiatry codes. It is because they are considered "routine care," which does not require a doctor (whether MD, podiatrist, or any other) to perform.
A total of 4 lesions located on the right distal dorsal middle finger, right mid dorsal index finger, right ring distal interphalangeal joint, and right distal radial thumb were pared with a 15 blade scalpel. This procedure was medically necessary because the lesions that were treated were: inflamed and irritated.
Cigna and BCBS state L84 is actually an "Exclusion of Covered Benefits" and will not even allow an appeal; even if it was medically necessary with underlying condition (diabetes). If that diagnosis in ANYWHERE on the claim (11056 or E/M), they will deny the entire date of service.
Coding for Mycotic Nails. Although CPT coding does not exclusively apply CPT codes 11720 and 11721 to mycotic nails or to the feet, Medicare assumes these are the CPT codes usually used to code for services related to debriding mycotic nails.
Cutting or removal of corns and calluses; Trimming, cutting, clipping, or debridement of nails, including debridement of mycotic nails; Shaving, paring, cutting or removal of keratoma, tyloma, and heloma;
Covered exceptions to routine foot care services are considered medically necessary once (1) in 60 days. More frequent services will be denied as not reasonable and necessary. The exclusion of foot care is determined by the nature of the service, regardless of the clinician who performs the service.
In evaluating whether the routine services can be reimbursed, a presumption of coverage may be made where the evidence available discloses certain physical and/or clinical findings consistent with the diagnosis and indicative of severe peripheral involvement. For purposes of applying this presumption the following findings are pertinent:
Foot care services that do not require a professional would be considered routine and not a Medicare benefit.
Routine foot care is usually performed by the beneficiary himself or herself, or by a caregiver.
