Difficult Removal of an Object From the Mouth Lining

Maryland rates for HCPCS 40805

Removes an object embedded in the tissue between the lips or cheeks and the gums, in cases that need more than a straightforward extraction — for example when it lies deep, is fragmented, or is surrounded by inflamed tissue. Reaching it may require cutting into the tissue and dissecting around it. The wound is cleaned and closed afterwards.
