Question 1
A patient undergoes excision of a 2.5 cm malignant melanoma from the left forearm
with a 1.0 cm margin. The defect is closed primarily. What CPT code range should be
reported?
A) 11600–11606
B) 11400–11406
C) 13100–13102
D) 14000–14001

Answer: A
Rationale: Excision of malignant lesions (including margins) is reported with codes
11600–11606 based on lesion size. A 2.5 cm lesion with 1.0 cm margin falls into the >2.0
cm to ≤3.0 cm category.




Question 2
A 45-year-old patient has a 3.0 cm benign nevus excised from the back with a 0.5 cm
margin. The CPT code is:
A) 11402
B) 11403
C) 11404
D) 11603

Answer: B
Rationale: Benign lesion excision codes 11400–11406 are based on excised diameter
(lesion + margins). The excised diameter is 3.0 cm + 0.5 cm + 0.5 cm = 4.0 cm, falling
into the 3.1–4.0 cm range (11403).
