Wildwood Crest - Some Doctors have found a lucrative loophole in medical insurance rules: calling something a surgical procedure, especially when it’s not very expensive, is rarely challenged. One woman had a tiny skin tag removed with a squirt of liquid nitrogen, and was shocked to see the $469 bill for “surgery,”. A doctor pulled a “little splinter” from a boy’s hand,: Code 10120, $414 — the bill said. Insurance companies approve such treatments, but with sky-high deductibles, patients are stuck paying the bills.
