CPT® Code 11950

The procedure described by CPT® Code 11950 involves the subcutaneous injection of a filling material, which is commonly collagen. This procedure is typically performed to address various dermatological concerns, including the treatment of acne scars and facial wrinkles. The injection is administered beneath the skin's surface, allowing the filling material to provide volume and improve the appearance of the skin. The specific volume of filling material used in this procedure is 1 cc or less, which is crucial for ensuring the appropriate application and effectiveness of the treatment. It is important to note that there are additional codes for different volumes of injection, such as CPT® Code 11951 for 1.1 to 5.0 cc, CPT® Code 11952 for 5.1 to 10.0 cc, and CPT® Code 11954 for injections exceeding 10.0 cc. This structured approach to coding ensures that medical coders and billers can accurately document and bill for the specific services rendered based on the volume of filling material used.
