L662 – L662
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L662 for the excision of a single benign skin lesion, such as a skin tag or small seborrheic keratosis, when the procedure is performed as a standalone service.
- Select L662 when the lesion is removed via simple excision or curettage, provided the clinical documentation confirms the lesion is benign.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L662 in conjunction with a minor assessment code like A007 is often rejected unless the assessment is for a separate, unrelated clinical issue.
- Do not bill L662 if the lesion requires a more complex procedure such as a biopsy (L663) or if the lesion is malignant, which would require a different fee schedule code.
- Submitting L662 for multiple lesions on the same day can lead to audit flags; ensure you are using the appropriate multiple procedure rules if applicable.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the lesion site is clearly specified in the claim to avoid rejection for lack of clinical detail.
- If you perform a biopsy and then excise the remaining lesion on the same day, you generally cannot bill both L663 and L662; bill only the higher-valued procedure.
