Destruction Of A Precancerous Skin Spot

Indiana rates for HCPCS 17000

This treats a single precancerous skin lesion, most often an actinic keratosis, a rough, scaly patch caused by sun damage that can potentially develop into skin cancer if left untreated. The clinician destroys the spot directly, commonly by freezing it with liquid nitrogen, rather than cutting it out for a lab sample. It covers treatment of the first lesion in a visit; additional spots treated the same day are billed separately.
