L450 – L450
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L450 for the removal of a single benign skin lesion, such as a skin tag or small seborrheic keratosis, when performed via simple excision or curettage.
- Select L450 instead of G313 when the procedure is limited to a single lesion and does not meet the complexity threshold for a minor surgical excision.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L450 in conjunction with a consultation or assessment code (A007/A005) on the same day is frequently rejected unless a separate, unrelated clinical issue is addressed and documented.
- Attempting to bill L450 multiple times for the same anatomical site is often flagged; use the appropriate multiple-lesion modifiers if applicable to avoid audit triggers.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the lesion description in the chart clearly justifies the removal as medically necessary rather than purely cosmetic to prevent recovery during a post-payment audit.
