L601 – L601
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L601 for the excision of a single benign skin lesion, such as a skin tag or small seborrheic keratosis, when the procedure is performed via simple excision.
- Select L601 instead of A007 when the clinical focus is the surgical removal of a lesion rather than a general assessment or consultation.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L601 in addition to a minor procedure code like Z310 for the same lesion is considered double-dipping and will trigger a rejection.
- Attempting to bill L601 for the removal of multiple lesions at the same site without using the appropriate multiple-lesion modifiers will lead to payment adjustments.
Billing Tips
- If removing multiple distinct lesions during the same encounter, bill the first lesion at 100% and subsequent lesions at 50% using the appropriate suffix or modifier.
