L576 – L576
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L576 for the excision of a single benign lesion, such as a skin tag or small seborrheic keratosis, when the procedure is performed in a clinical setting.
- Select L576 when the lesion removal is performed via simple excision or curettage, provided the clinical documentation confirms the lesion is benign.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L576 in conjunction with an office visit (A007) is generally rejected unless the lesion removal is the sole purpose of the visit or is clearly distinct from the consultation.
- Submitting L576 for multiple lesions on the same day often leads to payment reductions or rejections; ensure you use the appropriate multiple procedure modifiers if applicable.
Billing Tips
- If the lesion is malignant, use the appropriate excision code from the G-series (e.g., G381) instead of L576 to ensure accurate compensation for the complexity of the procedure.
