Common Podiatry CPT Codes
CPT coding accuracy is critical for correct reimbursement.
Frequently Used Podiatry Codes
| CPT Code | Description | Purpose |

| 11719 |

| 11720 |
Debridement of 1–5 nails |

Each code must include clear documentation showing patient's condition and medical necessity, especially for Medicare and Medicaid payers.
Understanding Code Descriptions
CPT Code 11719
Used when trimming normal nails that are not affected by disease. Usually considered routine foot care and not covered unless other conditions apply.
CPT Code 11720
Used for debridement of one to five diseased nails (such as fungal or ingrown nails). Coverage may depend on the patient’s diagnosis.
CPT Code 11721
Used for debridement of six or more nails. Must include clear notes and often requires modifier documentation.
Routine vs Non-Routine Foot Care
Insurance coverage depends on whether the service is considered routine or medically necessary.
- Routine Foot Care – Includes trimming of nails or calluses without underlying conditions. Often not covered.
- Non-Routine Foot Care – Includes services for patients with systemic conditions like diabetes, poor circulation, or neuropathy. Usually covered if documented correctly.
AccuBill Solutions LLC ensures your documentation supports medical necessity, preventing denials and compliance issues.
Using Modifiers Correctly
Modifiers are vital in podiatry billing because they explain the context of treatment.
Common Podiatry Modifiers
| Modifier | Description | Use |
|---|
| Q7 |
One class A finding |
Non-routine foot care for serious conditions |
| Q8 |
Two class B findings |
Indicating significant systemic involvement |
| Q9 |
One class B and two class C findings |
Common for diabetic foot care |
Correct use of these modifiers ensures Medicare and private insurers understand why services were medically necessary.
