CPT 11606: Excision of Malignant Skin Lesion >4.0 cm on Trunk/Arms/Legs

Medicare pays $477 and commercial payers pay $1284 on average nationally for this procedure.

CPT code 11606 describes surgical excision of a malignant skin lesion with margins greater than 4.0 cm in diameter from the trunk, arms, or legs; this procedure is a wide local excision of a cutaneous malignancy typically performed as an operative surgical procedure in an outpatient surgical center or hospital operating room setting.

National Reimbursement Benchmarks

Across national payers, Medicare’s mean reimbursement of $477.10 sits below BUCA’s average commercial mean of $1,284.00, indicating a substantial gap between public and this commercial benchmark. Blue Cross Blue Shield and UnitedHealth Group show the highest mean levels ($1,861.10 and $655.50, respectively), while Aetna and Cigna are lower on average; this positions Medicare closer to the lower-middle of the payer mix and BUCA well above Medicare in average dollar terms.

Dispersion measured by the interquartile spread (P75 minus P25) is widest for Blue Cross Blue Shield at $2,130.20 and for UnitedHealth Group at $4,235.00? Wait recalc: UnitedHealth Group P75 $836.10 minus P25 $412.60 equals $423.50 — so widest is Blue Cross Blue Shield ($2,130.20) and BUCA shows a wide spread of $1,382.10. Tightest spreads are Aetna ($304.40) and Cigna ($378.70), indicating more concentrated pricing from those payers compared with the greater variability seen with Blue Cross Blue Shield and BUCA.

Clinical Context

A 62-year-old male presents to a dermatologic surgical clinic with a biopsy-proven malignant melanoma on the lateral trunk measuring clinically about 4.5 cm in greatest diameter. The lesion is located on the skin of the torso, with irregular borders and suspected deep extension; preoperative evaluation includes review of prior biopsy pathology, medical history, medication reconciliation, and discussion of risks, benefits, and alternatives. On the day of service the patient is placed in a minor procedure suite or ambulatory surgery center; local anesthesia with monitored sedation or general anesthesia is provided per anesthetic risk and patient preference. The surgeon performs wide local excision of the malignant lesion with appropriate surgical margins, documents the lesion size and final excised specimen diameter (greater than 4.0 cm), closes the defect by direct layered closure or flap/graft if needed, and sends the specimen for permanent pathology. Postoperative instructions, wound care, and follow-up for pathology review and oncologic staging are arranged.
