Need help coding this:
The laceration was found to be approximately 2 cm on the right upper
lip including through and through the vermillion border into the lip proper.
The laceration was closed in layers with deep layer of interrupted 6-0 Vicryl suture and then the superficial layer of the lip was closed with 5-0 chromic. The laceration to the face just superior to the lip was closed with
interrupted 6-0 nylon. The patient tolerated the procedure well.
Is this 40650 or 40654 and do i need to know the size of the face laceration? On the consultation report it states :
Patient with acomplex, approximately 2 cm, laceration just above her mouth on the right side, extending through the vermilion border into the upper lip. A portion of this was through and through.
