I am looking for the appropriate code to use for laser treatment of acne.
10040 does not indicate by laser method. Would this be a misc 17999 and predetermination/pre-auth.
I reviewed some major commercial carriers medical review for acne management, but was not specific enough to understand if laser was covered or if this is considered "experimental" as they state under some methods such as PDT..
Also, cpt 96920 describes Laser treatment for inflammatory skin disease (would acne be considered for this code?)
Thank you
Lisa
