R041 – Simple excision - three or more lesions
OHIP Integumentary System Surgical Procedures Code — INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
This service covers the simple excision of three or more malignant lesions, including the biopsy of each lesion. This fee is for excisions performed on areas of the body other than the face or neck. Payment is conditional on a pathologist's report being retained in the patient's record. A pre-malignant lesion is not a malignant lesion for the purposes of payment. If the resulting defect is repaired using techniques such as advancement flap including undermining of more than 2.5 cm per side, rotation, transposition, Z-plasty, or other flap or graft, the claim should be for the appropriate benefit listed under Skin Flaps and Grafts Section instead of foregoing excision benefits. Excision by S-plasty technique is considered a form of simple excision rather than a reconstructive flap.
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.
