Hi Guest!
D7410 - excision of benign lesion up to 1.25 cm
can be crosscoded to:
40810 - Excision of lesion of mucosa and submucosa, vestibule of mouth; without repair
40812 - Excision of lesion of mucosa and submucosa, vestibule of mouth; with simple repair
40814 - Excision of lesion of mucosa and submucosa, vestibule of mouth; with complex repair
40816 - Excision of lesion of mucosa and submucosa, vestibule of mouth; complex, with excision of underlying muscle
There are also specific biopsy codes available:
40490 - Biopsy lip
40808 - Biopsy, vestibule of mouth
41108 - Biopsy of floor of mouth
Hope this helps!
