What 40830 covers

This code describes simple repair of a traumatic cut in the oral vestibule—the space between the inner lip or cheek and the teeth or gums. A clinician may use it for an uncomplicated mucosal laceration, such as one caused by a fall or impact. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons, dentists, otolaryngologists, and emergency clinicians may perform the repair in an office, emergency department, or operating room. The key distinction from 40831 is that 40830 is for a simple repair; the record should identify the wound’s location and describe the repair performed.

Report one unit for the repair and document the injury, vestibular site, and basis for selecting the simple repair code. Medicare assigns a 10-day global period, so related postoperative visits during that period are included. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this descriptor and anatomy. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documentation of medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

40830 billing questions

How does 40830 differ from 40831?

40830 is for simple repair of a laceration in the mouth vestibule. Use 40831 when the repair is documented as complicated.

Can this code be used for a mouth lesion that is excised?

No. This code describes repair of a traumatic laceration. Lesion excision with repair is represented by lesion-specific codes such as 40812 or 40814, as appropriate.

Are related postoperative visits separately reported?

Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included in the procedure.

Should modifier 50 be appended for wounds on both sides of the mouth?

No. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this descriptor and anatomy; report the repair without a bilateral adjustment.

When is an assistant-at-surgery payable?

Medicare pays an assistant at surgery only when the record documents medical necessity. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted for this code.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
