Destruction of a Malignant Skin Growth

Hawaii rates for HCPCS 17272

A provider destroys a cancerous (malignant) skin growth using a method like freezing, burning, or chemical treatment, rather than cutting it out and stitching the area closed. This approach treats a moderate-sized growth. It's a quicker option than surgical excision for lesions that are suitable for this kind of treatment.
