Skin Punch Biopsy, Single Site

Ohio rates for HCPCS 11104

This procedure removes a small, cylindrical sample of skin using a circular cutting tool, going deep enough to capture the full thickness of the skin for examination under a microscope. It's used to help diagnose a rash, growth, or other skin condition when a visual exam alone isn't enough to determine what it is. The small wound is often closed with a stitch or two as part of the same visit.
