DermTech Pigmented Lesion Assay
Temporary codes have been created 0400T for 1-5 lesions and 0401T for 6 or more lesions. I found the information in a AAD newsletter:
Another set of codes that have been introduced for
2016 are category III codes for Multi-spectral digital
skin lesion analysis. Like the codes for High dose rate
electronic brachytherapy, skin surface application, the
Multi-spectral digital skin lesion codes will sunset in
January 2021.
• 0400T Multi-spectral digital skin lesion analysis of
clinically atypical cutaneous pigmented
lesions for detection of melanomas and
high-risk melanocytic atypia; one to five
lesions
• 0401T six or more lesions
