Wiki Coding dystrophic nail ??

[Orthocoderpgu]

So code 11719 is to report trimming of nondystrophic nails. How do you code the trimming of dystrophic nails? Pt has onychomycosis. Thanks for all of your input. It really helps.

 

[ciphermed]

For Medicare:
G0127 Trimming of dystrophic nails, any number
(for facility has the same APC assignment & payment as 11719)

Other payors? if they will not accept the G-code perhaps
unlisted CPT 17999.

Unless of course debridement (11720, 11721) instead of trimming was performed.

Hope this helps,
