What 17262 covers
The clinician treats a malignant skin lesion with a destructive technique, such as electrodesiccation and curettage, cryotherapy, or laser treatment, rather than removing it by excision. This size tier covers lesions measuring 1.1 through 2.0 cm on the trunk, arms, or legs. Dermatologists commonly perform the service in an office; it may also be furnished in an outpatient facility.
Choose the code for the lesion’s anatomic group and measured diameter, and document the diagnosis, exact site, size, and treatment method. A 10-day global period includes related postoperative visits during that period. For multiple procedures performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are paid at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

17262 billing questions
When should 17262 be selected instead of 17261 or 17263?
Use 17262 for a lesion measuring 1.1–2.0 cm on the trunk, arm, or leg. Code 17261 is the smaller size tier, and 17263 is the next larger tier.
Does the lesion’s location affect code selection?
Yes. Code 17262 is for the trunk, arms, or legs. Lesions on the scalp, neck, hands, feet, or genitalia fall in a different anatomic group.
Can this code be used when the lesion is excised?
No. Code 17262 describes destructive treatment; use the applicable excision code when the lesion is cut out.
What documentation supports the size tier?
Record the lesion’s diagnosis, anatomic site, measured diameter, and destructive method. The documented diameter should support the 1.1–2.0 cm tier.
How are other procedures in the same session paid?
Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are paid at 50%. The code has a 10-day global period for related postoperative visits.
Can modifier 50 or an assistant-at-surgery claim be reported?
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.
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.
