What 11301 covers

This service removes a skin lesion by shaving across its surface rather than excising it through the full thickness of the skin. Dermatologists commonly perform it in an office for a raised lesion on the trunk, arm, or leg when shave removal is the intended treatment or diagnostic approach. The code’s site group excludes lesions on the scalp, neck, hands, feet, genitalia, face, ears, eyelids, nose, and lips, which have separate code families.

Select the code using the lesion’s documented diameter and anatomic site. The record should identify the site, size, and reason for removal, and support that a shave technique was performed. This is a minor procedure with a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple procedure reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
