Removal Of Skin Cancer, Face Or Ear, Medium Size

Nevada rates for HCPCS 17283

This is a procedure to destroy a cancerous skin growth located on the face, ears, eyelids, nose, lips, or a mucous membrane, using a method such as scraping, burning, or freezing rather than cutting it out with a scalpel. It applies to a growth measuring roughly two to three centimeters across, a medium size for this type of lesion. Because the treated area is not removed as an intact piece of tissue, this method does not provide a specimen for confirming that all the abnormal cells were destroyed.
