Question:

What CPT code should I bill for the destruction of seborrheic keratosis? My physician told me to bill 17000 and 17003 for additional destructions.

Answer:

CPT codes 17000 and 17003 are used to report actinic keratosis (AK) destruction, not seborrheic keratosis (SK) destruction(s). The correct codes are 17110 for up to 14 lesions, and 15 or more lesions are reported with CPT code 17111. Make sure the documentation includes the type of lesion, the number of lesions destroyed and the site of each lesion.
