L715 – L715
OHIP Dermatology Code · Schedule of Benefits
When to Use
- Use L715 when performing a simple excision of a skin lesion that is not a biopsy and does not meet the complexity requirements of the A-series excision codes.
- Apply this code for the removal of a small, superficial lesion where the procedure is completed in a single session without the need for complex closure or tissue reconstruction.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing L715 in conjunction with a minor assessment code (A007) is a common rejection; the assessment is generally considered included in the procedure fee.
- Submitting L715 for a biopsy is incorrect; use the appropriate biopsy code (e.g., Z332) to ensure accurate payment and avoid audit flags for miscoding.
Billing Tips
- If multiple lesions are removed during the same encounter, ensure you apply the appropriate multiple procedure rules, as L715 is subject to the 100%/50%/25% payment reduction schedule.
