Hi davidkerr!

No problem, here are some CPT coding options based on what you described below:

11441 - excision benign lesion 0.6 to 1.0 cm
40810 - Excision of lesion of mucosa and submucosa, vestibule of mouth without repair
40812 - Excision of lesion of mucosa and submucosa, vestibule of mouth with simple repair

And here are some ICD-10 diagnosis coding options for you:

D37.01 - Neoplasm of uncertain behavior of lip
D10.0 - Benign neoplasm of lip
D23.0 - Other benign neoplasm of skin of lip
C00.0 - Malignant neoplasm of external upper lip
C00.1 - Malignant neoplasm of external lower lip
C00.2 - Malignant neoplasm of external lip, unspecified
C00.3 - Malignant neoplasm of upper lip, inner aspect
C00.4 - Malignant neoplasm of lower lip, inner aspect
C00.5 - Malignant neoplasm of lip, unspecified, inner aspect
C00.6 - Malignant neoplasm of commissure of lip, unspecified
C00.8 - Malignant neoplasm of overlapping sites of lip
C00.9 - Malignant neoplasm of lip, unspecified

Hope this helps, have a great day!

Hi Jenny!

Hm that is interesting, i do show that 40810-40816 are currently active/valid CPT codes....

40812 stands for: Excision of lesion of mucosa and submucosa, vestibule of mouth; with simple repair

4110-41114 are as follows:

41110 - Excision of lesion of tongue without closure

41113 - Excision of lesion of tongue with closure; posterior one-third
41114 - Excision of lesion of tongue with closure; with local tongue flap
