What 11302 covers

This service removes a skin lesion by shaving at or near the skin surface, without excising a full-thickness section of surrounding skin. It applies to a single lesion on the trunk, an arm, or a leg when its documented diameter falls in the 1.1–2.0 cm size group. Dermatologists and other clinicians who perform skin procedures commonly provide it in an office setting; the removed tissue may be submitted for pathology.

Select the code by the lesion’s location and diameter, and document the site, size, removal method, and clinical reason. Report each lesion separately rather than combining measurements. The procedure has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
