L663 – L663
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L663 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 L663 over minor procedure codes like G372 when the clinical documentation confirms the removal of a discrete lesion rather than a simple biopsy or drainage.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L663 in conjunction with a consultation or assessment code (e.g., A007) on the same day is frequently rejected unless the lesion removal is medically necessary and distinct from the assessment.
- Submitting L663 for multiple lesions on the same site often leads to payment for only the first lesion; use the appropriate multiple procedure logic or secondary codes if applicable.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the pathology report or clinical note explicitly describes the lesion as benign to justify the use of L663 over more complex excision codes like S060 or S061.
