Thanks Charla,
That is how I understood it, then I came across this, what does it mean?
00120 Anesthesia for procedures on external, middle, and inner ear including biopsy;
not otherwise specified
00124 otoscopy
00126 tympanotomy
Pub. 100-4, Chapter 12, Sections 50, 140, 140.2,
140.3.2
Coding Tip
Codes 00120–00126 each identify a unilateral
service. If the surgeon performs bilateral surgical
services, use modifier 50 (bilateral procedure).
Thanks!
