Summary
The provider uses optical coherence tomography (OCT) to examine the middle ear. This code is specific to both sides (i.e., both ears). OCT is a noninvasive imaging technique that uses light waves to process and provide three–dimensional images of tissue. The code includes interpretation and report, so do not report those services separately.
