What 11313 covers

This code covers shave removal of one epidermal or dermal lesion larger than 2.0 cm on the face, ears, eyelids, nose, lips, or mucous membrane. A clinician uses a blade or similar instrument to remove the lesion superficially rather than excising it through the full skin thickness. Dermatologists and other clinicians who perform skin procedures commonly use it in office settings; the removed tissue may be submitted for pathologic examination.

Select the code by the lesion’s site and diameter, and document both, along with the shave technique and the lesion treated. The code 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 other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documentation of 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.

11313 billing questions

When is 11313 selected instead of 11312?

Use 11313 for a qualifying lesion larger than 2.0 cm at the covered facial or adjacent sites. Code 11312 is for a lesion in the same site group measuring 1.1 to 2.0 cm.

Does this code include examination of the removed tissue?

The shave removal is the service reported by 11313. A laboratory or pathologist may report a separate pathology service when the specimen is examined.

How should multiple lesions be reported?

The code describes removal of a single lesion. Document each lesion’s site and diameter, and apply the standard multiple-procedure reduction when multiple procedures are performed in the same session.

What documentation supports 11313?

Record the specific facial or adjacent site, lesion diameter greater than 2.0 cm, and that the lesion was removed by a superficial shave technique.

Can an assistant or another surgeon be reported?

Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documentation of medical necessity. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted for this code.

Does the 0-day global period include same-day care?

Yes. Same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included in the procedure’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.
