Removal Of A Small Cancerous Facial Growth

Michigan rates for HCPCS 17280

A clinician destroys a cancerous skin growth on the face, ear, eyelid, nose, lip, or mucous membrane using a method such as scraping, freezing, burning, or laser rather than cutting it out with a scalpel. This particular service is for a growth that is small in size. Destruction in place is chosen when it is expected to clear the growth effectively while limiting the scar.
