What 17282 covers
This service covers destruction of a malignant lesion in the specified size range at the face, ear, eyelid, nose, lip, or mucous membrane. A dermatologist or other qualified physician may use electrosurgery, cryosurgery, laser, or another destructive technique for a selected basal or squamous cell carcinoma. The procedure is commonly performed in an office, though facility settings also occur.
Select the code using the lesion’s diameter and anatomic site; document the diagnosis, measured size, location, and method. 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 are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Medicare does not pay for an assistant at surgery, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

17282 billing questions
How is this code distinguished from 17281 and 17283?
All three cover malignant lesion destruction at the same anatomic sites. Choose 17282 for a lesion measuring 1.1–2.0 cm; 17281 and 17283 represent the smaller and larger adjacent size ranges.
When should 17272 be used instead?
17272 is for a lesion in the 1.1–2.0 cm range on the trunk, arms, or legs. Use 17282 for the face, ears, eyelids, nose, lips, or mucous membrane.
What documentation supports reporting 17282?
Document the malignant diagnosis, exact site, lesion diameter, and destructive method. The recorded size and site should support the code’s size range and anatomic group.
Are postoperative visits separately reported during the global period?
Related postoperative visits for 10 days are included in the procedure’s global period.
Can modifier 50 be used for lesions on both sides?
No. The CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply to this code, and modifier 50 is inappropriate.
How are other procedures in the same session paid?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, while other procedures in the session are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction.
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.
