Content Inside:
The removal of benign skin lesions (e.g., nevus mole , sebaceous cyst, wart, seborrheic keratosis, skin tag or pigmented lesion) is considered medically necessary when ANY of the following criteria are met:

* There is drainage, inflammation, bleeding, burning, intense itching, or pain associated with the lesion.
* The lesion is growing in size.
* The lesion obstructs a body orifice, restricts vision or otherwise significantly interferes with normal function.
* There is clinical suspicion of malignancy (e.g., a change in the ABCDs of skin cancer asymmetry, border irregularity, color, and diameter ).
* Due to its anatomical location, the lesion is prone to being recurrently traumatized.

Benign skin lesion removal performed solely for the purpose of altering appearance or self- esteem, or to treat psychological symptomatology or psychosocial complaints related to oneâ s appearance is considered cosmetic and not medically necessary.
