What 11306 covers

This service removes a single superficial skin lesion by shaving through the epidermis and into the dermis, rather than excising it through the full thickness of the skin. It applies to lesions on the scalp, neck, hands, feet, or genitalia that measure 0.6 to 1.0 cm. Dermatologists commonly perform the procedure in an office; primary care clinicians and other qualified practitioners may also remove lesions in office or facility settings. A specimen may be sent for pathology when clinically indicated.

Choose the code by the lesion’s diameter and the treated anatomic area, and document the site, measurement, and removal technique. Report each distinct lesion according to its own size and location. CMS assigns 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 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.

11306 billing questions

How does this code differ from 11305 or 11307?

All three are for shave removal in the scalp, neck, hands, feet, or genitalia group. Select 11305 for a lesion up to 0.5 cm, 11306 for 0.6 to 1.0 cm, and 11307 for 1.1 to 2.0 cm.

When should 11311 be used instead?

Use 11311 for a 0.6 to 1.0 cm shave removal on the face, ears, eyelids, nose, or lips. The size is the same, but the anatomic group differs.

What documentation supports reporting 11306?

Document the lesion’s location, measured diameter, and shave-removal technique. If multiple lesions are treated, record each lesion separately so the size and site supporting each code are clear.

Does same-day care have a separate global-period payment?

CMS assigns this minor procedure a 0-day global period. Same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included.

How are other procedures in the same session paid?

Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the other procedures are paid at 50% when performed in the same session.

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?

Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documentation of medical necessity. CMS does not permit co-surgeon or team-surgery payment for this code.

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.
