About 11303: Large trunk or limb shave removal
Report this code when a clinician tangentially removes a skin lesion larger than 2 cm from the trunk, an arm, or a leg.
This service removes a superficial epidermal or dermal lesion by shaving across its surface rather than cutting out a full-thickness section of skin. Dermatologists and other clinicians may perform it in an office or facility for a raised lesion on the trunk, arm, or leg that is symptomatic, repeatedly irritated, or needs diagnostic evaluation. A specimen may be sent for pathology when indicated.
Select the code by the lesion’s body region and measured diameter; this code is for a lesion over 2 cm on the trunk, arms, or legs. Document the site, size, removal method, and reason for treatment, and identify separately treated lesions. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documentation of medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

11303 billing questions
How does this code differ from 11302?
Both apply to the trunk, arms, or legs, but 11302 is for a lesion measuring 1.1–2.0 cm. Use this code when the lesion is larger than 2 cm.
Does this code describe a shave or an excision?
It describes superficial tangential removal by shaving. A procedure that cuts out a full-thickness section of skin is an excision, not a shave removal.
What documentation supports reporting this code?
Record the lesion’s precise trunk, arm, or leg location, measured diameter, removal technique, and clinical reason for treatment. Document separately treated lesions individually.
Is same-day care included?
Yes. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included in the procedure.
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 subject to a 50% reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
