Light-Based Scan Of A Skin Lesion

New Jersey rates for HCPCS 0470T

A handheld scanner is held against the skin and uses light waves to build cross-sectional pictures of the layers just below the surface, so the structure of a lesion can be examined without cutting it out. The images are reviewed and a report is written. It covers the first lesion examined in the session.
