billing I & D to Medicare

Our physician did 8 I$D's of inflammatory/pustule acne on a patient's forehead. Can we bill 10060 x 8 units?

10060 is for simple,single-10061 is for complicated or "multiple". So if it was me I would use the 10061x1 and not the 10060 at all.

For Acne you should bill the code 10040 not 10060 and 10040 already states multiple so you can only bill as 1 unit. Medicare will probably consider this as cosmetic.
