Z160 – Removal by electrocoagulation and/or curetting - two lesions
OHIP Integumentary System Surgical Procedures Code — INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM SURGICAL PROCEDURES · Schedule of Benefits
This service covers the removal of two Group 1 lesions (e.g., keratosis, pyogenic granuloma) by electrocoagulation and/or curetting, as described on page of the Schedule. The procedure must be for clinical suspicion of disease or malignancy and is not insured for cosmetic purposes. Payment requires complete removal of the lesion, as paring without complete removal is not eligible for payment. The removal of plantar verrucae by this method is also an uninsured service. For classification, refer to Appendix D Surface Pathology.
1. Paring of a lesion by any method, including curetting, and/or electrocoagulation, without complete removal of the lesion does not constitute Z159, Z160 or Z161 and is not eligible for payment.
2. Excision or removal by electrocoagulation and/or curetting of plantar verrucae is not an insured service.
