Hi Everyone,
One of our Doc's used a lazer to treat a patients folliculitis and used a 96999 and the insurnace denied it because its an unlisted procedure . I've looked to see if I can find a code that better matches what the Dr. did. The only one that i can come up with is 96920-laser treatment for inflammatory skin disease. What is throwing me about this code is the fact that is has psoriasis in parenthesis next to it? I wanted to see if anyone could come up with any other possibilities. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
