L665 – L665
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L665 when performing a simple excision of a skin lesion that is specifically categorized as a 'small' lesion under the Schedule of Benefits.
- Apply this code for the removal of a single benign skin lesion when the procedure does not meet the complexity requirements for the higher-valued L666 or L667 codes.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L665 in conjunction with a minor assessment code (A007) is a common rejection; ensure the procedure is the primary service provided during the encounter.
- Submitting L665 for multiple lesions on the same day often leads to audit flags if the total number of lesions removed exceeds the clinical expectation for a single visit.
Billing Tips
- Always document the specific anatomical location and the size of the lesion in the chart to justify the use of L665 over more complex excision codes.
