Wiki 17000 vs. 11055

[MWOOD]

Document reads left foot corn/calluse second degree to wart, paved down with adequate cleaning. In the Hx it does read plantar wart.

Should it be coded as a calluse tx 17000 or plantar wart tx 11055?

I think it should be 17000 w/ proper icd-9, but I am on the fence about this. Any suggestions?

 

[mitchellde]

Given what you have stated i would go with callus.

 

[eadun2000]

just an fyi 17000 is for a premalignant lesion such as actinic keratosis.
