Question: Can I bill 69801 bilaterally?
Florida Subscriber
Answer: Yes. Code 69801 (Labyrinthotomy, with perfusion of vestibuloactive drug[s]; transcanal) is a valid bilateral procedure, meaning you can apply modifier 50 (Bilateral procedure). If you check CMS, you will see 69801's bilateral status is "1," and the description for Status 1 is "150% payment adjustment for bilateral procedures applies."
