To code Vermilion border repair (40650 ) do we need more than 2 layers repair or is it ok to have just 2 layers of closure.

Regards

Hard to tell without the actual documentation.

Per the Ingenix Coding Companion for Plastics/OMS/Dermatology:
The physician repairs a laceration or surgically created wound or defect of the lip. In 40650 the wound extends through the full thickness of the lip.

I'm thinking you are probably looking at 12051-12057.

Hope that helps.
