What 11402 covers

This service removes a benign skin lesion from the trunk, an arm, or a leg, including the margins taken around it. Typical examples include an epidermal inclusion cyst or benign nevus removed in a physician office or outpatient setting. The code is specific to these body regions; lesions on the head, neck, hands, feet, or genitalia fall into different anatomic code families.

Select the size by adding the lesion’s greatest clinical diameter to the narrowest margins required for complete removal; the resulting excised diameter must be 1.1–2 cm. Document the site, benign lesion, and dimensions supporting that measurement. Simple closure is part of the excision; a separately qualifying intermediate or complex repair may be reported. Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included. When multiple procedures occur in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. The bilateral adjustment is unavailable, assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted, and 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.

11402 billing questions

How is the 1.1–2 cm size determined?

Use the lesion’s greatest clinical diameter plus the narrowest margins needed for complete removal. The combined measurement must be 1.1–2 cm.

Which body sites qualify for this code?

The code is for lesions on the trunk, arms, or legs. Head, neck, hands, feet, and genital lesions belong to different anatomic code families.

Can the closure be billed separately?

Simple closure is included in the excision. A separately qualifying intermediate or complex repair may be reported when the work and documentation support it.

Are postoperative visits separately billable during the global period?

Related postoperative visits for 10 days are included in this code’s global period.

Can modifier 50 be used for lesions removed on both sides?

No. The bilateral adjustment does not apply to this code, and modifier 50 is inappropriate.

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.
