Our providers have purchased a Dermapen for acne scars skin resurfacing. We are puzzled as to what CPT code to use. Possibly the unlisted CPT code 17999?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks:
 
Acne scars are considered cosmetic, unless your provider can provide the medical necessity and you get it preauthorized by insurance. CPT 17999 is the only code I can think of to use
