Keep Practice Revenue Flowing With Dermatology Coding Alert
Expert dermatology coders know that chemical peels can be used for far more than cosmetic treatments. But if you’re having trouble receiving payment, you’re not alone. Codes 15788 and 15789 both pertain to facial areas, while 15792 and 15793 describe non-facial areas.
You might also be tempted to report 17360 but this would be incorrect coding for AK treatment. It is also advisable to avoid the more general codes 17000-17004 which pertain to destruction by any method because as per guidelines you are required to use the most specific code.
