Final Word<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIn conclusion, CPT code 11730 refers to an avulsion of the nail plate. However, since this procedure is limited to one nail plate, the physician can not remove several nail plates in a single visit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The physician can only bill this code once in 4 months for an avulsion performed on the same fingernail and once in 8 months for a nail plate removal performed on the same toenail. However, if the service is medically essential than the advised Medicare level, the physician may add modifier KX to bypass the threshold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, to facilitate the billing process for insurance payers, HCPCS has developed “F\/T” modifiers that cover all the details about the procedure, for example, the placement of the finger or toenail where the procedure was performed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
