Please help!
Can you send me the dental codes for the following CPT codes?

40500 Vermilionectomy (lip shave), with mucosal advancement
40510 Excision of lip; transverse wedge excision with primary closure
40520 Excision of lip; V-excision with primary direct linear closure
40525 Excision of lip; full thickness, reconstruction with local flap (eg, Estlander or fan)
40527 Excision of lip; full thickness, reconstruction with cross lip flap (Abbe-Estlander)
40530 Resection of lip, more than one-fourth, without reconstruction

Thanks!

Hi guest!

While dental coding is not really our forte as medical coding is, I think I may have found some coding options for you. To clarify though, were the excisions for lesions, tumors, and/or cysts?
