Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 17314 covers

During Mohs surgery, the surgeon removes another thin layer from the mapped surgical site after microscopic review shows residual tumor at a margin. The tissue is oriented and mapped, processed for immediate microscopic examination, and assessed so the surgeon can target further removal while preserving uninvolved tissue. Dermatologic surgeons and other physicians trained in Mohs technique commonly perform this service in office-based skin cancer surgery settings.

Use 17314 after the initial Mohs stage code 17313 for a lesion on the trunk, an arm, or a leg. It represents an additional stage, not another lesion or simply another tissue block. Documentation should identify the operative site and stage and support further excision through the mapping and microscopic findings. Report 17313 for the initial stage and 17314 for each additional stage; qualifying blocks beyond the stage allowance are reported separately with 17315. CMS classifies 17314 as an add-on: it must be billed with a primary procedure and is paid within that procedure’s global period.
