Removal of Cancerous Skin Growth, Face and Facial Features

Nebraska rates for HCPCS 11640

This is the surgical removal of a small cancerous skin growth from a highly visible area such as the face, ears, eyelids, nose, or lips, cutting out the growth along with a margin of surrounding tissue to help ensure complete removal. Because these areas are cosmetically sensitive, the surgeon is often especially careful about how much tissue is removed and how the wound is closed.
