R040 – Simple excision - two lesions
OHIP Integumentary System Surgical Procedures Code — INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
This service covers the simple excision of two malignant lesions, including biopsy of each lesion, on any area of the body except the face or neck. A pre-malignant lesion is not considered a malignant lesion for payment purposes. The amount payable for this service will be adjusted to a lesser fee if the pathologist's report is not retained in the patient's record. If the surgical defect is repaired using an advancement flap, rotation flap, transposition flap, Z-plasty, or other graft, the appropriate repair code from the Repair Section should be claimed instead of this excision code.
The pathologist's report must be retained in the patient's record.
A pre-malignant lesion is not a malignant lesion for the purposes of payment.
When excision of benign, pre-malignant or malignant lesions are corrected by advancement, rotation, transposition, Z-plasty, flap or graft, claim appropriate benefit listed under Repair Section instead of foregoing excision benefits.
