What 11305 covers

This service removes a small, superficial skin lesion by shaving through the epidermal or dermal layers rather than excising a full-thickness section of skin. Dermatologists and other clinicians who perform office skin procedures may use it for a raised lesion selected for removal, including a lesion on the hand or foot. The site must fall within this code’s anatomic group; facial lesions belong to a different group.

Choose the code by the lesion’s anatomic site and measured diameter, and document both, along with the removal technique and clinical reason. This code represents one lesion; distinct lesions are reported separately when supported by the record. CMS assigns 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 other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

11305 billing questions

Which sites qualify for this code?

Use it for a lesion on the scalp, neck, hands, feet, or genitalia. Face, ear, eyelid, nose, and lip lesions use a different anatomic group.

How do I distinguish this code from 11306?

Both cover the same anatomic group, but 11306 is for a lesion larger than 0.5 cm through 1.0 cm. This code is for a lesion measuring 0.5 cm or less.

Can I report multiple units for separate lesions?

The code describes removal of one lesion. Report distinct lesions separately with the code matching each lesion’s site and size, subject to applicable claim edits.

Is a pathology examination included?

The shave-removal service does not itself describe the pathology examination. If a specimen is submitted, pathology services are considered and reported separately when supported.

How does this differ from a tangential biopsy?

Use this code when the service is removal of the lesion; use 11102 when the purpose is a tangential biopsy for diagnostic sampling rather than lesion removal.

What happens when other procedures are performed in the same session?

CMS pays the highest-valued procedure in full and applies the standard multiple-procedure reduction to the other procedures. Same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included in this code’s 0-day global period.

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.
