What 11620 covers
This code covers surgical removal of a malignant skin lesion, including the surrounding margins, on the scalp, neck, hands, feet, or genitalia. Dermatologists, surgeons, and other qualified clinicians may perform the procedure in an office or facility. The code is selected by the excised diameter, which includes the lesion and the margins; it is not based on the lesion alone. For example, a small malignant lesion on the hand may qualify if the combined measurement is no more than 0.5 cm.
Document the site, malignant diagnosis, lesion and margin measurements, and resulting excised diameter. Simple closure is included; a separately performed intermediate or complex repair may be reported when supported. Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery, and co-surgeon and team-surgery billing 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.

11620 billing questions
How is the size for this code determined?
Use the greatest diameter of the lesion plus the margins removed, measured before excision. The combined excised diameter must be 0.5 cm or less.
When should 11621 be used instead?
Use 11621 for the same anatomic group when the excised diameter is 0.6 to 1.0 cm. The site and combined lesion-plus-margin measurement distinguish the codes.
Can the closure be billed separately?
Simple closure is included in the excision. A separately performed intermediate or complex repair may be reported when its documentation and code requirements are met.
Can modifier 50 be used for lesions on both hands?
No. The CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply to this code, and modifier 50 is inappropriate.
Are postoperative visits included?
Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included in the procedure.
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.
