L705 – L705
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L705 for the excision of a single benign skin lesion, such as a skin tag or small seborrheic keratosis, when the procedure is performed via simple excision.
- Select L705 when the lesion does not require a complex closure or tissue rearrangement, distinguishing it from more intensive procedures like G301 or G302.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L705 in conjunction with a consultation or assessment code on the same day is frequently rejected unless the lesion removal is medically necessary and distinct from the assessment.
- Claiming L705 for multiple lesions on the same site without using the appropriate multiple procedure rules often leads to automatic payment reductions or rejections.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the clinical note clearly describes the size and location of the lesion, as L705 is strictly for minor excisions and may be audited if the lesion size suggests a more complex procedure code should have been used.
