Question: Delaware Subscriber Answer: Use code 17110 (Destruction [e.g., laser surgery, electrosurgery, cryosurgery, chemosurgery,surgical curettement], of benign lesions other than skin tags or cutaneous vascular proliferative lesions; up to 14 lesions) for the procedure. Link that to a diagnosis of 701.5 (Other abnormal granulation tissue). Code 17110 doesn't specifically mention plasma ablation, but the wording doesn't rule it out, either.Gastroenterologists usually use argon plasma coagulation -- jet of ionized gas-- to treat bleeding inside the body.
