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.
