What 11300 covers

A clinician removes a small, raised or superficial skin lesion by shaving through the epidermis and into the dermis, rather than excising the lesion through its full thickness. Dermatologists, primary care clinicians, and other qualified practitioners commonly perform this service in an office; it may also be performed in a facility. The specimen may be submitted for histopathologic examination when indicated.

Select this code for a lesion on the trunk, arm, or leg that measures 0.5 cm or less. Document the lesion’s location, size, clinical reason for removal, and shave technique; report each lesion separately rather than combining measurements. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeon and team-surgery payment are not permitted.
