What 17263 covers
This code covers definitive destruction of a malignant skin lesion measuring 2.1–3.0 cm on the trunk, an arm, or a leg. Techniques include electrosurgery, cryosurgery, laser treatment, chemical treatment, and surgical curettement. Dermatologists commonly perform the service in an office; it may also be performed in an outpatient facility. The record should identify the malignant lesion, its anatomic site and measured size, and the destruction method.
Choose the size and site code that matches the treated lesion; the neighboring size bands and codes for other anatomic groups are distinct. Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included. For multiple procedures in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this lesion-based service. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery, and co-surgeon and team-surgery reporting 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.

17263 billing questions
How does this code differ from 17262 and 17264?
Those codes cover smaller and larger size bands, respectively, for malignant lesions on the trunk, arms, or legs. Use 17263 for a lesion measuring 2.1–3.0 cm.
Which sites belong under this code?
It covers the trunk, arms, and legs. Malignant lesions on the scalp, neck, hands, feet, genitalia, or face belong to different site-specific code groups.
Can modifier 50 be used for lesions on both sides?
No. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code; select and report the applicable lesion code based on the treated lesion's site and size.
Are postoperative visits separately reportable?
Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included in the procedure.
How does destruction differ from excision?
Destruction eliminates the lesion using a destructive technique; excision removes tissue. For a 2.1–3.0 cm malignant lesion on the trunk, arms, or legs, 11603 is the corresponding excision code.
What should the procedure note document?
Document the malignant lesion, its location, measured size, and the technique used to destroy it. The size and anatomic group support selection of this code over neighboring codes.
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.
