I have a physician who removed a callus by using a sanding disk with a mechanical burr. Would you still use 11055?

Thanks,

The description of 11055 in the Coding Companion for Podiatry says removed by "cutting, clipping, or paring", which would not include sanding.

If you don't use 11055, then what CPT code would you use?

Thanks,

As far as I know, that is not a billiable service. We send them to a nail care place for that.
