Removal of Benign Lesions
The LCDs for Removal of Benign Lesions for all three CGS states have been revised to remove the requirement of the use of the –KX modifier, effective December 1, 2007. In addition several ICD.9 codes have been added to the LCDs as covered indications. After the effective date, providers must bill with one of the covered ICD-9 codes for payment. Please refer to the CIGNA Government Services Web site to view the policy.
