Facial surgery

About 40652: Full-thickness lip repair below half height

Repair a full-thickness lip injury extending through the lip but involving less than half its vertical height, with extent and tissue involvement documented.

This code describes repair of a full-thickness lip injury that extends through the lip but involves less than half its vertical height. The injury may involve the external skin, lip muscle, and inner oral lining. A physician or other qualified surgeon typically performs the repair in an emergency department, operating room, or other setting where the injury is treated. Precise alignment of the lip edges, including the vermilion border when involved, helps restore the lip’s contour.

Choose the code based on the injury’s depth and vertical extent, and document the involved layers and proportion of lip height affected. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documentation of medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

40652 billing questions

How does this differ from 40650?

40652 is for a full-thickness injury involving less than half the lip’s vertical height. 40650 is for a full-thickness repair limited to the vermilion.

When is 40654 the better choice?

Use 40654 for a full-thickness repair involving more than half the lip’s vertical height or a complex repair. Document the extent and complexity supporting that selection.

What should the operative note document?

Document that the injury is full thickness, the lip layers involved, and how much of the lip’s vertical height is affected. Include the repair details and any complexity relevant to code selection.

Can modifier 50 be used for a repair on both sides?

No. CMS identifies modifier 50 as inappropriate for this code because of its descriptor or anatomy.

What postoperative care is included?

The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.

Can an assistant surgeon be paid?

CMS assistant-at-surgery payment is allowed only when medical necessity is documented. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
