I would like to ask you for the description of CPT code 96910.
My coworker and I have split opinion between the codes. 96920 and 96910
We are a Derm group and treat many vitiligo patients. We do use Xtract/Eximar laser for this laser procedure and I would like to know if I can use 96910 for this code.
Both UV light box and Xtract laser treatment use mineral oil for photoenhancing agent before the treatment.
I said we can use 96910 because Excimer is type of UV light and using photoenhancing agent, so it's okay.
But my coworker say that 96910 is just for the UVB light box treatment, not for the laser treatment.

Please kindly share your opinion.
Thank you.
 
You cannot use 96910 for Excimer Laser. When using excimer for vitiligo, you have to use either 96920/21/22 or 96999, depending on the carrier.
