What it is
This code covers destroying a precancerous skin spot, such as an actinic keratosis, usually by freezing with liquid nitrogen. It is billed for the first lesion.
What the price covers
The price usually covers the procedure and numbing medicine. The visit may be billed separately.
Why prices differ
Doctors' offices, dermatology clinics and urgent care clinics often charge much less than hospital outpatient departments.
What to ask
