Because dermatology includes both medical and cosmetic services, billing must clearly distinguish covered vs non-covered procedures.

These checkpoints summarize published CMS guidance for dermatology claims. The payer’s policy and the rule in effect for the date of service always apply.
Medicare does not cover cosmetic surgery or expenses incurred in connection with it. The Benefit Policy Manual defines cosmetic surgery as any surgical procedure directed at improving appearance.
The cosmetic exclusion does not apply to surgery required for prompt repair of accidental injury. Prompt means as soon as medically feasible, so timing and the injury should be documented.
Surgery for the improvement of the functioning of a malformed body member is outside the cosmetic exclusion. The functional or medical reason should be clear in the record.
Surgery performed for therapeutic purposes is not excluded merely because it also serves some cosmetic purpose. The therapeutic purpose is what the medical record should establish.
CMS states that when a patient undergoes cosmetic surgery, the series of postoperative visits to evaluate progress are not covered. Services related to a non-covered service are also not covered.
Mohs micrographic surgery coverage is addressed in Local Coverage Determinations issued by Medicare Administrative Contractors, so indications and documentation requirements depend on the contractor for the region.

What is dermatology billing?
Dermatology billing is the process of coding and submitting claims for dermatology services using CPT, ICD-10, and payer-specific rules.
What CPT codes are used in dermatology?
Dermatology uses office visit codes, procedure codes, consultation codes, and preventive visit CPT codes depending on the service provided.
Are cosmetic dermatology procedures billable?
Many cosmetic services are non-covered. Proper documentation and patient responsibility handling are essential.
What are common dermatology ICD-10 codes?
They include diagnosis codes for skin conditions, lesions, screenings, referrals, and follow-up care.
What is dermatology RCM?
Dermatology RCM manages the full billing lifecycle from eligibility to payment posting and collections.
Can dermatology billing be outsourced?
Yes. Many practices outsource dermatology billing to reduce overhead and improve accuracy.
How does offshore dermatology billing work?
Claims processing and AR follow-up are handled securely by offshore teams while the practice retains control and visibility.
Does Medicare cover a service that is not reasonable and necessary?
No. The Benefit Policy Manual states that items and services not reasonable and necessary for the diagnosis or treatment of illness or injury, or to improve the functioning of a malformed body member, are not covered.
Does a routine skin check without a complaint qualify as a covered exam?
Generally not. The routine physical checkup exclusion applies to examinations performed without relationship to treatment or diagnosis for a specific illness, symptom, complaint, or injury, subject to the listed exceptions.
What must the record contain to support a Mohs claim?
Contractor LCDs generally require that the medical record documentation fully supports medical necessity for the services. Exact requirements are set by the MAC that issues the policy.
