Injection Into Skin Lesion(s)

Alabama rates for HCPCS 11900

A provider injects medication, such as a corticosteroid, directly into one or more skin lesions to help reduce inflammation, itching, or the size of a raised scar or growth. The medication is delivered right into the affected tissue rather than taken by mouth or applied on top of the skin. This targeted approach is commonly used for problems like keloid scars or certain inflamed skin conditions.
