Shave Removal Of A Larger Skin Growth, Hand Or Scalp Area

Tennessee rates for HCPCS 11308

A clinician uses a blade to shave off a raised skin growth located on the scalp, neck, hand, foot, or genital area, removing it flush with the surrounding skin rather than cutting all the way through and closing the area with stitches. This particular service covers a growth on the larger side. The sample is often sent to a lab to confirm what type of growth it was.
