L608 – L608
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L608 for the excision of a single benign lesion, such as a skin tag or small seborrheic keratosis, when performed via simple excision.
- Select L608 instead of minor surgery codes like Z100 when the procedure is limited to a single benign lesion and does not meet the complexity requirements for a surgical tray or excision by elliptical incision.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L608 in conjunction with an office visit (A007) is often rejected unless the lesion removal is a distinct, medically necessary procedure performed during the same encounter.
- Submitting L608 for multiple lesions at the same site is a common audit trigger; use the appropriate multiple lesion codes or modifiers if applicable to avoid duplicate billing flags.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the clinical note explicitly describes the benign nature of the lesion, as L608 is specifically for non-malignant pathology; suspicious lesions requiring biopsy should be billed under different diagnostic codes.
