Lay description for CPT 40530; The physician incises the lip, resects the damaged area and surrounding tissues. He closes the the area and repairs the surrounding structures in layers through sutures.
There isn't a CCI edit when billing both 40530 and 140xx, but the instructions for adjacent tissue transfer codes indicate that the excision of a lesion is not separately reportable. Since there is a malignant lesion in this scenario I would only bill an adjacent tissue transfer code.
