You can use 17000 for the first wart removed. For the 2nd thru 14th warts removed you can use 17003. Hope this helps.

17000, 17003 and 17004 are for PREMALIGNANT LESIONS only, ie actinic keratosis. You should be using 17110.

correction

Thank you eadunn2000. You are absolutely right! 17110 up to 14 lesions and 17110 for 150 or more lesions. Sorry about that, Ingrid
