L710 – L710
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L710 for the excision of a single benign skin lesion, such as a skin tag or small seborrheic keratosis, that does not require formal surgical closure.
- Select L710 when performing a simple shave or curettage of a superficial lesion where the procedure is strictly limited to the epidermis or superficial dermis.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L710 in conjunction with a minor assessment code like A007 is often rejected unless the assessment is for a separate, unrelated clinical issue.
- Attempting to claim L710 for multiple lesions on the same day will trigger a rejection; you must use the appropriate multiple procedure rules or specific lesion count codes if applicable.
Billing Tips
- L710 is a minor procedure code; ensure your clinical notes clearly distinguish the excision from a simple diagnostic assessment to avoid audit flags for 'unbundling' services.
