L622 – L622
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L622 for the excision of a single benign lesion, such as a skin tag or small seborrheic keratosis, when the procedure is performed via simple excision.
- Select L622 when the lesion is removed by shave or snip excision, provided the clinical documentation supports the benign nature of the growth.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L622 in conjunction with a minor assessment code (A007) is often rejected unless the assessment is for an unrelated clinical issue documented with a different diagnosis code.
- Submitting L622 for the removal of multiple lesions in the same anatomical region can lead to audit flags; ensure you are not misusing this code when a tray fee or multiple lesion excision code (L623) is more appropriate.
Billing Tips
- If the lesion removal requires a pathology report, ensure the diagnosis code used for L622 matches the final pathology findings to avoid reconciliation discrepancies.
