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.
