Removal of Skin Cancer, Face and Lips (Mid-Size)

New Mexico rates for HCPCS 11643

Surgical cutting away of a cancerous skin growth from the face, ears, eyelids, nose, or lips, including a margin of normal-looking skin around it. This applies to a growth in the mid-to-larger size range for this area, rather than the smallest or the very largest growths removed from these locations. Because these areas involve delicate features, the surgeon works carefully to remove the growth completely while limiting the size of the resulting wound.
