Where Dermatology Practices Lose Revenue
Excision and Lesion Removal Coding
Lesion excision codes (11400–11646) require precise measurement of the lesion plus margins to select the right CPT code. Undermeasurement by even a few millimeters downcodes the claim. Overmeasurement creates audit risk.
Cosmetic vs. Medical Billing
Many dermatology procedures sit on the line between cosmetic (patient-pay) and medically necessary (insurance-covered). Correctly diagnosing and documenting the medical necessity for sebaceous cysts, skin tags, and actinic keratosis is essential.
Mohs Surgery Billing
Mohs surgery codes (17311–17315) bill by stage and tissue block. Missing a stage, undercounting blocks, or failing to bill the repair separately leaves significant revenue uncollected on every Mohs case.
Biopsy and Destruction Codes
Skin biopsy (11102–11107) and destruction codes (17000–17286) have strict counting and site rules. Billing multiple destructions without understanding the tiered coding structure routinely results in underpayment.
