Measure Margins, Wound Area. When a provider performs lesion removal, he will remove the lesions as well as margins of healthy tissue around the wound. For your lesion removal claims, you need to add the dimensions of the lesion your provider removes to the margins, and then use that length to determine code choice. Example: The physician removes a 0.9 cm benign lesion from a patientâs left leg with a 0.4 cm margin. This means that total excision size was 1.3 cm. On the claim, you would report 11402 (Excision, benign lesion including margins, except skin tag [unless listed elsewhere], trunk, arms or legs; excised diameter 1.1 to 2.0 cm) for the removal.
