What is skin excision?

Excision involves the cutting and full-thickness removal of a lesion, with extension through the dermis into the subcutis. Skin lesion excisions include the surrounding tissue or margins. To accurately code lesion excisions, review the documentation for details regarding whether the lesion is benign or malignant, the location, and the excised diameter.

How to determine code selection?

Code selection is determined by the size of the excision , not the size of the lesion. Excision size includes the size of the lesion plus the width of the excised margins (the area surrounding the lesion that is also removed). To calculate the excision size, measure the diameter of the lesion at its longest point (greatest clinical diameter) plus two times the narrowest margin appropriate for removing the entire lesion (the margin on both sides of the lesion).#N#Note: The rule of thumb is to measure first; cut second. The provider should measure the lesion and margins preoperatively because the lesion tissue generally changes shape or shrinks once removed and placed in formalin.
