    Wiki Parastomal hernia polyp

    Wiki Heard of Light Hyfrecation?

    I am auditing a dermatologist who is claiming that he performed "light hyfrecation" on some papules of the face. He is billing 17000 and 17003. I can't even find what this is, must less how to code it. Anybody ever heard of this? Dx for this procedure is 216.3, but primary Dx is Rosacea...
