What 11307 covers

This code represents tangential removal of one epidermal or dermal lesion measuring 1.1-2.0 cm on the scalp, neck, hands, feet, or genitalia. A physician or other qualified practitioner typically uses a blade or similar instrument to shave the lesion without excising it through the full thickness of the skin. The service is performed in office or facility settings, often for a raised or superficial lesion selected for removal.

Choose the code by the lesion’s measured size and anatomic site, not by the amount of tissue submitted or the instrument used. Document the site, lesion dimensions, and the shave-removal procedure; report separately for distinct lesions when supported. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. 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% multiple-procedure 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.

11307 billing questions

Which anatomic sites fit this code?

Use it for a single 1.1-2.0 cm lesion on the scalp, neck, hands, feet, or genitalia. The same size on the trunk, arms, or legs falls in a different site series.

How is lesion size used to select the code?

Measure the lesion and select the size range within the series for its anatomic site. Document the dimensions and site in the procedure note.

How does this differ from a tangential biopsy?

This code describes shave removal of a lesion. A tangential biopsy code is used when the service is diagnostic sampling rather than removal of the lesion.

Is same-day evaluation or follow-up separately included?

The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. This rule does not extend the global period to later dates.

What happens when other 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. An assistant-at-surgery claim requires documentation of medical necessity.

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.
