Summary & Overview

CPT 1066F: Clinical Performance Measure

CPT code 1066F is a CPT-designated measure entry for clinical documentation; no descriptive summary text was available in the source input. As a CPT measure code, 1066F is used within clinical reporting and administrative workflows to capture a specific performance or quality element tied to patient care. Nationally, CPT measure codes support quality reporting, payer adjudication, and population-level performance assessment, making accurate coding important for interoperability and claims processing.

Key payers discussed in this analysis include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Readers will find a concise orientation to the code’s purpose, an explanation of expected service context where available, and notes on what data elements are present or missing. The publication outlines benchmarking and policy-relevant interpretation where applicable, highlights typical stakeholder considerations for CPT measure codes, and identifies gaps in the input data that limit detailed clinical or billing guidance.

This summary is written for a national audience and frames 1066F as a CPT measure code used in quality and administrative reporting rather than a discrete procedural service. Data not provided in the input is noted explicitly in the detailed sections of the publication.

Clinical & Coding Specifications

Clinical Context

A typical patient scenario involves an outpatient dermatology or primary care visit for assessment and management of a small, benign-appearing skin lesion (for example, a common wart, skin tag, or actinic keratosis) requiring a limited, focused procedure such as bedside cryotherapy, topical chemical destruction, or a single small lesion debridement. The patient is a generally healthy adult who presents with a single symptomatic lesion causing pain, bleeding, or cosmetic concern. The clinical workflow includes history and focused skin examination, informed consent for a minor procedure, application of local anesthetic if indicated, performance of the targeted destructive or removal technique, immediate post-procedure wound care instructions, and brief documentation of lesion size, method used, and patient tolerance. Typical site of service is an outpatient clinic, dermatology office, or primary care office procedure room. Typical service type is a minor office-based dermatologic procedure.

CPT Code	Description	Relationship to This Procedure
`17000`	Destruction (e.g., laser surgery, electrosurgery, cryosurgery, chemosurgery), premalignant lesion (e.g., actinic keratosis); first lesion	Often performed for actinic keratoses and may be billed when multiple lesions are treated; complements single-lesion procedures
`17003`	Destruction, premalignant lesions; 10 to 14 lesions	Used when multiple premalignant lesions are treated in the same session
`11200`	Removal of skin tags, multiple fibro-epithelial tags, any area; up to and including 15 lesions	Used when skin tags are removed and the number of lesions fits this code's descriptor
`11600`	Excision, benign lesion including margins, except skin tag (unless listed elsewhere); diameter 0.5 cm or less	Used when lesion is excised rather than destroyed; represents an operative alternative
`11100`	Tangential biopsy of skin (e.g., shave, scoop), single lesion	Performed when a diagnostic shave biopsy is required instead of or prior to destructive treatment
`99024`	Postoperative follow-up visit, global service included in surgical package	Relevant for documentation of routine postoperative follow-up when an excision with a global period is billed
