About 11300: Small trunk or extremity shave removal
Reports superficial shave removal of a skin lesion measuring 0.5 cm or less on the trunk, arm, or leg for diagnostic or therapeutic care.
A clinician removes a small, raised or superficial skin lesion by shaving through the epidermis and into the dermis, rather than excising the lesion through its full thickness. Dermatologists, primary care clinicians, and other qualified practitioners commonly perform this service in an office; it may also be performed in a facility. The specimen may be submitted for histopathologic examination when indicated.
Select this code for a lesion on the trunk, arm, or leg that measures 0.5 cm or less. Document the lesion’s location, size, clinical reason for removal, and shave technique; report each lesion separately rather than combining measurements. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur 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 documented medical necessity; co-surgeon and team-surgery payment are not permitted.

11300 billing questions
Which body sites qualify for this code?
Use it for a lesion on the trunk, arm, or leg measuring 0.5 cm or less. Site-specific shave codes apply to other body regions.
How is the lesion size selected?
Use the lesion’s measured size before removal, not the size of the specimen after shaving. This code is for lesions measuring 0.5 cm or less.
Can this code be used for a diagnostic biopsy?
Use this code when the clinician shaves off the lesion itself. A tangential biopsy code such as 11102 is generally considered when the service obtains a diagnostic sample rather than removing the lesion.
Is same-day care included in the procedure?
Yes. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care.
How are multiple procedures paid in one session?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures in the same session are subject to the standard multiple procedure reduction.
What should the record show?
Document the exact body site, lesion size, clinical indication, and shave technique. When multiple lesions are treated, identify each lesion separately.
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.
