Benign Lesion Destruction

Question:

My provider destroyed 5 lesions on the penis, and then 5 lesions on the scrotum and groin area. Can I code 54056 and 17110?

Answer:

Thank you for your question. The destruction of the lesions on the penis are via cryosurgery you will report CPT code 54056. In addition, you may report CPT 17110 for the lesion destructions on the scrotum and groin area. Since the two services are not bundled under NCCI Modifier 51 should be appended to CPT code 17110
