True Blue
Patient had a release of upper labial frenulum.of lip. Diagnosis code is a short upper labial frenulum with binding of upper lip. Now I look up the code for the procedure and I say its cpt code 40806- it IS , release of the labial frenulum, I just cant find a dx code for it.
I code for an ASC, and the booking was cpt code was 41115, excision of lingual frenum , wHICH i disagree, because it invoves the tongue.
Now here is my questions ?
1. am I i right or wrong
2. if right, what DX should i use ? thanks
