What would the CPT code be for Electrocautery for an Angioma located on the upper lip?


Thank you
 
I looked at the code also but it states of a benign lesion OTHER THAN skin tags or cutaneous vascular proliferative lesion, angioma is considered a proliferative vascular lesion, I was looking at CPT Code 17106. Your thoughts?
 
I would be interested in more about the treatment of angiomas - this is a common thing that is coming up in my clinic - patients with cherry angiomas and the Drs are sending the pt to see the estheticians for laser treatment. Is this a billable service when the esthetician does the laser treatment?
If so would we use the 17110 or the 17106 ??

Also, what about estheticians doing Laser (nd-yag ) on nail fungus- Drs are wanting to charge the 17110 - I have explained that 110.1 is not a covered dx on this cpt - and they want to use 686.8 instead. Is this ethical billing?
