XTRAC

Question:

Our practice is considering using XTRAC for patients with psoriasis. Before we purchase the laser, we want to make sure we get paid. Is there a CPT code for XTRAC?

Answer:

There is a CPT code for XTRAC, an excimer laser treatment for psoriasis. There are actually three codes: 96920, 96921, and 96922. The codes are selected by square centimeter size. CPT 96920 is reported for 250 square centimeters or less, 96921 when the total area treated is 250 to 500 square centimeters, and 96922 for treated areas over 500 square centimeters. The side of the treated area must be included for CPT codes that are reported based on centimeter or square cm size documentation.
