L652 – L652
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L652 for the professional fee associated with the excision of a benign skin lesion, such as a skin tag or small seborrheic keratosis, when performed in a clinical setting.
- Apply this code when the procedure is performed as a standalone service or in conjunction with an office visit, provided the lesion removal is the primary reason for the encounter.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L652 in addition to a minor surgery code like Z310 is redundant, as the professional fee for the excision is typically bundled into the procedural code.
- Submitting L652 without an appropriate diagnostic code for the lesion type will result in an automatic rejection for insufficient clinical justification.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the lesion size and anatomical location are clearly noted in the chart, as these details are required to justify the specific excision code used alongside the L652 professional fee.
