Removal Of A Larger Growth Under The Shoulder Skin

New Hampshire rates for HCPCS 23071

A soft-tissue growth lying in the fat layer just beneath the skin of the shoulder region is cut out along with a margin of normal tissue, and the wound is closed. This covers the larger growths in that layer; a smaller one in the same place takes less work and is handled separately. The tissue removed is normally sent to a laboratory to be examined and checked for cancer.
