CPT® Code 15787

Add-On Code

The CPT® Code 15787 refers to the procedure of abrasion, specifically for each additional four lesions or less that are treated during a single session. Abrasion is a dermatological technique used to smooth down or enhance the appearance of various skin lesions, which may include thickened areas of skin or scars. This procedure is performed by a physician who utilizes different abrasion techniques to remove the outer layers of skin, thereby improving the texture and appearance of the affected area. It is important to note that this code is used in conjunction with the primary procedure code, which is CPT® Code 15786, designated for the abrasion of a single lesion. When multiple lesions are treated, CPT® Code 15787 is listed separately to account for the additional lesions being addressed, ensuring accurate billing and documentation of the services provided.
